Support Frank Qum and LGBTQ Refugees in Sudan

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Benji. I was reached out to about two weeks ago by Frank Qum, who is currently in a refugee camp in Sudan with her sister.

They were hungry and in need and I gave what I could to help them, but unfortunately the situation is dire and they cannot live on my help alone.

They’ve entered the rainy season in Sudan, and right now they’re in need of funds to help rebuild the damage to shelter done by the weather.

Ultimately they aim to be able to leave Sudan, to get to a safer place and be able to work and earn a living.
They have already had their resettlement interview and Frank Qum is hopeful that this turbulence in their lives will pass.

Gofundme is an American company and a United States address is needed to start a fundraiser, therefore I am stepping in as their US friend and running this account. All of the money raised will be passed directly from me to Frank Qum and spent on food, bedding, medical treatment and hygiene products.

below is a message she sent me to include here as her mission statement.


Dear friends

I am Frank Qum an LGBTQ person in a sudan refugee camp. I and my fellow LGBTQ refugees face a lot of challenges including homophobia, hunger, lack of medication, lack of bedding and so many other challenges.

We are aiming at raising 5,000 USD to cover all those expenses so that LGBTQ people can get essential necessities like pads, food, medication and bedding so that they aren’t pressured into prostitution. Anything you can give will be of much help towards our survival however small it may be.

We thank you for standing with us in this horrible and traumatizing situation.

yours faithfully
Frank Qum.
