Help a Trans Woman of Color Pay Asylum Expenses

CashApp and Venmo at the bottom.
Hello, I am a young nonbinary trans woman (she/they), and I'm fundraising money to pay for legal fees related to my asylum case in the UK. I have recently escaped a homophobic/transphobic county in the Middle East where being queer is criminalized and I faced conversion therapy and other kinds of abuse. I also ran away from my biological family in a toxic household where I couldn't be myself or start my transition.
I was biding my time trying to seek asylum, and raised the current amount of $2,200, but due to circumstances, I had to flee prematurely to the UK, forcing me to spend most of my savings and the GoFundMe money while working on multiple ways to leave safely. Although I am currently in England, I am not permitted to work under the legal constraints of my asylum situation, so I am turning once again to GoFundMe.
I need $2,871 on top of the original amount to cover my full legal expenses. Additional funds will be saved for after the termination of my asylum sponsorship, at which point I will be able to seek employment, but any additional support will help. I am so close to being able to live authentically as myself, and all of your support brings me closer.
Thank you all
