Gay Yemeni Refugee Seeking Safety

Donation protected
Updated January 2022:

My name is Charieke and I am creating this GoFundMe on behalf of Mohammed. Mohammed reached out to me via email back in March 2021 and we have been in communication since. Since then, I have been sending direct aid to Mohammed to support him in his basic survival needs (ie. food, clothing, phone service, water, medical care, and hygiene supplies). Since we met a few new changes have occurred regarding his refugee status and now he is  awaiting a response from the Canadian delegation for approval of his refugee status into the country.

It has been a long journey for Mohammed to get to this point, however this is not the end. Mohammed is facing the winter in Jordan and as he is awaiting his asylum approval to Canadian delegates he is still facing ongoing deportation threats, food scarcity and the harsh and cold winters. 

Please support Mohammed in reaching his goal! 


To learn more about Mohammed please read his message below:
 

We are standing on a humanitarian situation that needs to stand seriously with it. From our publication, we send an urgent and quick distress call to a case that contacted us for help.                                     

This case needs the cooperation of all in order to bring Mohammed out of his ordeal onto a path where the rest of his life will be safe

Mohammed is a Yemeni refugee in his twenties, from the LGBT community, who arrived in Jordan from 2016 until this moment, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees did not pay attention to him, as he faces many problems, including threats from some citizens . Because they hate LGBTI, even though Jordanian laws do not criminalize homosexuality.

 More than once he was threatened and assaulted. Mohammed faced many problems, assaults and insults, and he has been unable to find work  because Jordan's laws do not allow a refugee to obtain a work permit unless he gives up his refugee status.  The matter is that after he renounces their refugee status, the government deports the person at their expense under duress to Yemen. This Yemeni country is still suffering from the problems of war and the manifestations of the coup.  If he is returned, he might get threats from many militias in Yemen, so a solution to Mohammed's crisis must be found.

All we want to do is to carry out a fundraising campaign in order to provide the amount requested by the International Organization for Migration in order to initiate the procedures for the termination of asylum and to provide him with the assistance of the resettlement program ,urgently and quickly, so that he can obtain a safe country and find his freedom in it so that he can rely on himself. 

Mohammed tried to provide himself with even crusty bread, but he could not.  Reason being, is the ban due to the Coronavirus (Covid 19) pandemic that spread in Jordan. A terrible spread, unfortunately, and we ask God to spare everyone from this deadly virus

Perhaps the value of a can of soda you drink?  Donate it for humanity today! You can help us with one dollar. But help us!  If you have the opportunity again, you can donate until the full amount we want is completed. 

What we need is a donation, and another matter that is more important than donation is to spread the link for Mohammed’s fundraising campaign at a high level of scope in all sites, applications and groups, and by all means allowed to be used in order to reach the most influential people in the world and share this link.

Mohammed stopped communicating with others so that this would not cause him problems again.

It is a shocking information , that Mohammed's uncle daughter, who was forced by his father, to marry him while she was still a minor at that time. From there, Mohammed was also forced to marry her, as she sees Mohammed as her brother.  She has a desire to marry another loving man, but she cannot show this to the family.  Mohammed knew that from her, because Mohammed is a young man who is no attracted to women. 

Mohammed is a young man asking for help not for the sake of being alone in a safe place. Rather, Mohammed when he arrives wants to be an initiative that reaches international organizations for Yemen to adopt new laws for the LGBT community, so that they will not be prosecuted. He also has many Yemeni friends who are refugees from the LGBT community. He wants to  Free them from the slavery of the refugee camps.

Mohammed intends to marry his boyfriend, a young Yemeni refugee in the Kakuma refugee camp, Kenya - after he reaches safety, says Mohammed, “I will be patient and work until I help all gay Yemeni refugees at my own expense.”

Mohammed is a young man skilled in many professional works
