My name is Amaka Precious, and I am writing this in a state of absolute terror and physical pain. I moved to Benin City to escape the stigma of being outed, but I found a different kind of hell. My neighbors targeted me and the result was a bloodbath. They didn't just break into my home, they came with cutlasses and a mission to kill me. They physically assaulted both me and my friend, leaving us injured and bleeding. They smashed my door, shattered my floor tiles, and crushed my phone to disconnect me from the world. But there is a hidden danger they cannot see, I live with Coronary Artery Disease. Every moment I spend in this house, my heart is under siege. The trauma of the assault, combined with the constant death threats shouted through my broken door, is causing my health to spiral. I am experiencing chest pains and a throwing up foams, my heart literally cannot handle this. Without a phone to call for help and without a door to keep my attackers out, I am a sitting duck. The police have turned their backs on me. They will not protect a woman like me. I am begging for my life. I need to move to a secure location immediately not just to escape the violence, but to save my heart from failing under the weight of this fear. Your donations will go toward a safe apartment, medical care for our injuries, and replacing my broken phone so I am never this isolated again. Please. I survived the attack, but I don't know if my heart can survive another night here. Help me get to safety before it’s too late.
