Urgent Help for Marion: Escape & Rebuild

Donation protected
My name is Marion. I am a transgender individual living in Uganda, and I am reaching out to you today with a plea for urgent help.

Life as a transgender person in Uganda is incredibly challenging. While I dream of a life where I can live authentically and without fear, the reality is that I am currently facing severe mistreatment and discrimination in my current community.

The constant harassment, threats, and prejudice have made my home an unsafe and untenable place to be. I live in fear daily, and it has become clear that for my safety and well-being, I must relocate to another district where I hope to find a more accepting environment.

This decision is not one I've made lightly. It is a matter of survival. However, this move comes at a time when I am already at my most vulnerable. I recently lost my job, which was my only source of income. This means I no longer have the means to cover my basic needs, let alone the significant costs associated with relocating and starting anew.

I am hopeful that in a new district, I will be able to find stable employment and rebuild my life. But before I can even begin that journey, I need immediate assistance to cover essential expenses. I am currently without food, and the thought of securing a new place to stay and feeding myself until I find a new job is overwhelming.

Here's how your generous contribution will make an immediate and tangible difference in my life:

Rent for a new, safe place to stay: Your support will help me secure initial housing in a new district, providing me with much-needed shelter and a sense of security.

Food and basic necessities: Until I can find new employment, your donation will ensure I have enough to eat and access essential hygiene products, allowing me to focus on my job search without the constant worry of hunger.

Transportation costs for relocation: Moving all my belongings to a new district requires funds for transport, and your help will make this critical step possible.

A chance to breathe and rebuild: Beyond the financial aspects, your support offers me the invaluable gift of hope and the opportunity to begin anew in a safer environment, free from the constant fear and discrimination I currently face.

I understand that times are tough for many, and asking for help is difficult. However, I am at a critical juncture where I desperately need a helping hand to escape a dangerous situation and rebuild my life with dignity. Every single donation, no matter how small, will bring me closer to safety and a future where I can live without fear.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your compassion and generosity can truly save a life and offer a beacon of hope to someone who is struggling to survive. Please consider donating and sharing my campaign with your networks.

With deepest gratitude,
Marion


Note: Marion cannot create a GoFundMe account or receive funds directly due to restrictions in Uganda and because she dosnt have a bank account. I am organizing this on her behalf, and I will personally send them the full amount through a secure money transfer app. All donations will go directly to her.
