Support for Sean, Ashimak & Members Queer Refugee Solidarit

We are a small group of LGBTQ+ refugees from East Africa who fled our home countries because of persecution for our sexual orientation. Sean and Ashimak met while seeking safety, first in Kenya and later in South Sudan, where life in the refugee camp has been extremely hard.

Here, discrimination, lack of food, unsafe water, poor shelter, and limited medical care make daily survival a struggle. Together with 11 other queer refugees, we have formed a family protecting each other, sharing what little we have, and supporting one another through these challenges.

This page is for raising awareness, sharing our stories, and seeking support to provide food, shelter, medicine, and safety for our group. Your solidarity can help us survive and build a life of dignity and hope. ️

URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED QUEER REFUGEE FAMILY

Hello dear friends,

We are a small group of 11 LGBTQ+ refugees, including moms, kids, and people living with HIV. We came together for safety after fleeing rejection and violence in our home country.

We are now urgently in need of help to secure a safe place, food, clean water, medication, and beddings.

Here’s our budget:

Safehouse: €350/month

➡️ Need 3 months upfront = €1,050

Water tank (3,000L): €300 (one-time)

Electricity: €100/month

4 mattresses @ €130 = €520

Weekly food & water: €500

Beans, rice, posho, veggies, milk for kids, and pads for lesbian moms

First urgent total: €3,320

To cover rent, setup, food & basic needs.

We are ready to act fast once we have support, we can secure rent, tank, food, and mattresses quickly.

Please, if you can donate, share, or connect us to support we would be so grateful.

Every euro counts to keep queer lives safe.

With love,

Sean, Ashimak, Layla & Queer Family ️‍

About Layla:

I am Layla Silbernberg, a trans woman from the Netherlands. I organize locally and help out within my community as I can. A few months ago Sean and Ashimak approached with an earnest plea for help, as well as a concrete plan of action. Over time I sought out other organizations that could help but found nothing, so I decided to see what I could do myself. They have provided the material you see here, and I trust them. The money will initially go to my personal bank account before I wire it over to Sean and Ashimak over Sendwave.
