So, this is: @lawrence86sblog, a user on tumblr, and they, along with 480 members, need help, support and supplies as well.★
★Let me fill you in on their situation★ :
- Five years ago, Lawrence fled away from Uganda to Kenya due to the large amount of homophobia and hostility in the area and have been in Kahuma refugee camps (which are located in the North Wester Turkana Region). Although, because the Kenyan government refused to speed up the process of their cases, they had no option from the meeting with them (the government) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Lawrence's case was put on hold on 19 of December 2023
- As of now, they, along with 480 other members, resided at Goromp Camp which is located in South Sudan. From what I managed to understand from the information that Lawrence gave me, I'd say that the place there is very remote and they also made it clear that life there is very hard, especially for the LGBTQ refugees, considering the fact that they are devoid of basic emergency supplies.
- The members of the refugee camp include children, women, men and people- all from different sexual orientations and they all are in need and in want of shelter, food, basic living supplies in general.
From what I also understood, most of the members there don't have the ability to access the internet, let alone have a smartphone and setting up a fundraiser is not much of an option for them, if we include the fact that they are in Africa. Also, despite them having an account, they do have limited access on the internet, so other people of their community spreading their wants for help is kind of, well, limited. Their homepage on Tumblr is as well devoid of any information regarding their very own situation, I'm just sharing the stuff that they informed of.
So, with all that said:
THEY NEED HELP, SHOW THEM SOME SUPPORT Y'ALL !! (and set up a fundraiser for them if you can, but contact them to see if they allow you to)
