Support Gambian gay refugee

Donation protected
Hello,

I Am Gambian refugee. I came to Senegal to seek asylum. I had to flee the Gambia due to anti-LGBTQ discrimination.

I had a problem with my family. They found out that I am gay and they were about to form together and beat me up to death. My father was to call the neighborhood to come together and beat us to death because being a homosexual is punishable by death and am a disgrace to our family. That's why I don't deserve to live.

Senegal is not much safer. LGBTQ people face discrimination , unemployment and housing difficulties . 2 months I shared an apartment where I could sleep and cook. Our land lord evicted me when he became aware of my LGBTQ status. Senegalese law sides with landlords. I became homeless.

The first donations I would get i will wanna try to get a new place. It's really difficult here in Senegal. I have been facing discrimination, homeless and lack of food as I have been in the street for 2 weeks and am getting sick because of the cold and also i need medical attention and i didn't get.

I really need an immediate help because I don't eat for 2 days. The ones who supposed to help me failed to understand that I can't go back home because they think that it's only those who have problem with the government really can't go back home. I explain to them that I have been banned by my family and community and been threatened to get killed.

I really need help !
