Please Help Kaira

CyaraKaira

Kaira is the strongest and smartest woman I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, and I am proud to help her in whatever way is feasible for me. Please help me in getting her what she needs to make it to a place and time in her life where she can finally be safe to be herself and live her life.

----------------------------------------

Hello, my name is Tasha, and I have been in consistent contact with Kaira, a girl originally from Uganda. She is transgender like me, and she and her sisters have been constantly persecuted, tortured, and even killed. She has been living as a refugee for many years now, yet she’s only 23.

She fled to Nairobi because the Kakuma refugee camp was growing increasingly hostile and abusive towards trans people from stabbings to fire bombs.

After surviving homeless in Nairobi for a long time, she fled to a new camp. Currently, at this new camp, she is relatively safe, but she is still in an overall very dangerous area, so it is very unsafe for her to venture out. She also risks further relocation to dangerous camps.

In the meantime, I’m providing what I can to help her survive, but we would both be grateful for any assistance.

Things that she needs help paying for:

- Food ~ KES 600/meal ($4.52)

- Internet ~ KES 20/hour ($0.15)

- Clean water

- Malaria medicine ~ KES 6100/full dose ($47.00)

- Plane ticket (one way to US) ~ $800
