Hi, I’m a recognized lesbian refugee who currently lives in Italy and prefers to stay anonymous for my very safety. Since I got assaulted by three men: security guard of the hospital, male nurse and later male police officer which was strangling me in police vehicle few days ago, I see how authorities already try to cover everything up by completely incorrect fake reports when I tried to press charges at Carabinieri station or when I tried to fixate all the injuries I got in the hospital later the same day after assault. Plus, social workers such as my refugee operator (who already treated me poorly for years before because I have videos & messages about it) justified police officer’s actions and, moreover, threatened me to kick me out on the street with my cat later, so as he refused to give me assistance and proper medical care with my damaged wrists (I was handcuffed too tight plus was brutalized being restrained like that).

Around the start of November, I plan to get my ID card to leave Italy legally and safely by the train with my cat to Netherlands to officially change the country of asylum on much safer than first EU country (Italy) that turned out to be as dangerous as my homophobic homeland when the police officer who was strangling me in police car mocked me with homophobic statements later.

So I started this GoFundMe to collect donations on list of needs that I surely can’t manage without someone else’s help in my current state of life:

Financial Breakdown (Total: 3000€)

1250€ for Private Healthcare and Legal Forensics: private neurologist consultation for wrist nerve damage and numbness, private MRI and Ultrasound scans for both injured wrists, Independent Forensic Medical Report to document all the damage legally, orthopedic compression gloves, wrist splints, and medical prescriptions.

800€ for Emergency Autonomy and Shelter Buffer: independent budget for groceries and cat care to stay fully autonomous from the camp administration, emergency housing fund for alternative short-term accommodation if the operator acts on his threats before October.

650€ for Safe Train Relocation with My Cat: taxi with luggage and pet carrier from the camp to the railway station, official international train tickets from Italy to the Netherlands, mandatory animal transit fees required by European train operators.

300€ for Platform Fees and Bank Deductions: coverage for GoFundMe transaction commissions and bank processing fees.

I have every other followed proof besides pictures of fresh injures such as medical verdicts, positive asylum papers, photo evidence with meta information, forensic medical and police fake reports, medical verdict before the assault, photos, videos and documents from previous assault in Italy, messages with my refugee operator and on, and on. When I’ll be in Netherlands, I plan to get a lawyer to show all the proof of failed Italian justice and social system so I never have to go back here and put my life at constant risk.
