Hi friends, My name is Cyara, and I’m a transgender refugee living in Gorom camp, South Sudan, along with other queer community members. We came here after fleeing severe persecution and violence in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya where many of us were harassed, attacked, and denied safety.

We thought we would be safer in South Sudan, but here too we face discrimination, abuse, and daily threats. Then, on June 20th, the government gave us an eviction deadline: leave the camp or face prison. They gave us no plan, no support, just a deadline. That day came and passed. We are still stuck, scared, and exposed.

I know posts like this can feel overwhelming but please believe me when I say: this isn’t easy to write. I’m not trying to guilt anyone. I’m just desperate to get help for me and my sisters.

We are trying to raise $1500 USD to rent a shelter in Juba for 3 months, to house 8 of us while we try to find longer-term safety. We’ve raised $121 so far I’m grateful beyond words for that, but we’re still far from safety.

Please — if you can’t donate, just boost this post. Share it. Let people know we exist. That alone could save a life. Also please mods, my cause was really verified by Qaz. Please don’t take it down. I can still verify my situation

Hi everyone, I’m Cyara, a transgender refugee in South Sudan. The government ordered us to leave our refugee camp by June 20th World Refugee Day or face arrest. That deadline has passed, and many of us, especially visible queer refugees, are still stuck and terrified.

We’re trying to reach Juba city to find safe shelter, but we can’t do it alone. Please, share our story if you can. Help us be seen. Every signal boost helps.

Hello everyone

My name is Cyara Kaira, and I’m a transgender refugee living in South Sudan. I want to thank everyone who has supported me and my sisters in these painful times. Your help has meant the world to us.

But the truth is we are still not safe.

The government of South Sudan told us to leave Gorom Refugee Camp without any support. No plan, no help, nothing. Just a command to leave by June 20th or face forced eviction and possibly prison.

June 20th, the day the world marked World Refugee Day was the exact moment we were told to disappear. There was no celebration, no protection, no recognition of our struggle. Just silence and fear. And now, during Pride Month, when the world talks about love and visibility, we are hiding, scattered, and terrified.

Some of the community have found temporary shelter in Juba, thanks to kind strangers and a small GoFundMe. But most of my sisters are still trapped in the camp. They are still in danger.

We are a small group of trans ,people who fled violence only to be met with more rejection and cruelty. But we believe in hope, and we’re still holding on. We really need your support please.

We couldn’t celebrate Pride. We couldn’t celebrate being refugees. But with your help, maybe one day we can celebrate survival.

Thank you for reading. With all my love and strength,

CyaraKaira

Hi everyone,

I hope it’s okay to post here again. I’ve been reaching out because the situation my trans sisters and I are facing is becoming more desperate by the day. I’m very mindful not to come across as pushy or as if I’m harassing this community I just don’t know where else to turn.

We are still stranded in Gorom, South Sudan, after being chased out of the refugee camp by the government. We have no shelter and are struggling to survive there is no food, no medical care, and no safety. We are sleeping outside, exposed to violence, fear, and the elements. Being visibly trans in this environment puts us in constant danger.

We are asking for any kind of help whether it’s direct support, sharing our situation, or advice on organizations that might assist us. We are simply trying to stay alive and protect one another.

I’m grateful for the kindness and strength in this community. Even just being seen and heard here gives me a little more hope.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

We survived the deadline but we are not safe.

Yesterday, May 23rd, was the government’s deadline for all LGBTQ+ refugees to leave the settlement. We are still here, stranded, frightened, and uncertain of what will happen next. We’ve heard nothing yet, but officials made it clear: when they act, the UNHCR will not be there to protect us.

We are living in constant fear, unsure of our fate. Some of us are trembling, crying quietly in corners, praying for help, hoping someone out there still cares.

We found a small place in Juba city a landlord agreed to rent it for $1,500 USD for 3 months. It could be a safe temporary shelter for us. But so far, we’ve only raised $265.

Please, I beg you share our story, remind others, speak our names. We’re not just refugees. We are humans, trans, queer, and trying to survive another day. The clock is still ticking.

We need your support now more than ever. Link to the fundraiser

My name is Cyara Kaira, and I am a transgender woman seeking safety in South Sudan. I never imagined I’d have to beg for my life like this, but today, I have no other choice.

I am currently living in a refugee settlement, but I’ve just been told I must leave within 10 days not because I did anything wrong, but simply because I am queer. The government held a meeting and announced that all LGBTQ+ people must leave the camp. Those of us who remain after Saturday will be forcibly evicted or imprisoned.

I am heartbroken. I am terrified. I have already suffered so much from rejection, from violence, from being treated like I don’t belong anywhere. And now, once again, I am being pushed out with nowhere to go.

I want to live. I want to be safe. But I have no home to go to. I am trying to reach Juba city, where I hope to find temporary shelter, but even there, life is dangerous especially for someone like me. If I end up on the streets, I don’t know what will happen to me. I fear I will be harmed or even killed.

Please, I’m asking from the depths of my heart:( Help me find a safe place to stay before Saturday. Help me survive this. Help me hold onto hope.

Your donation could save my life. Even a small amount can help me find shelter, food, and safety in these critical next days.

Please donate. Please share. Please stand with me. https://gofund.me/bd40a4f9

My name is Cyara Kaira. I’m a transgender woman, human rights activist, and asylum seeker currently living in South Sudan. Right now, my community and I are facing an incredibly urgent and dangerous situation.

War has broken out in South Sudan, and the violence is just a few kilometers from where I stay. Every day, the fear grows stronger. We can hear gunfire in the distance. We don’t know if we’ll be safe tomorrow.

One of my sisters is very sick, and we’re struggling to get her the care she needs. On top of that, we urgently need to stock up on food and basic supplies, as the situation is worsening and access to resources is becoming harder by the day.

I’m reaching out to ask for your help. Any donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference. Your support could help us survive this crisis with food, medicine, and a chance at safety.

Please consider sharing this as well. Every little bit helps.

Hello fellow everyone my name is CyaraKaira transgender woman originally from Uganda… I fled my home country due persecution that resulted from the Anti-homosexual bill. I fled to Kenya where I was put in a refugee camp. Here I faced a lot of persecution more than what I faced from my home country. I beaten several times, stripped naked, cut with machetes andremovedd on several occasions. My life was really hell that I had to flee to South Sudan a war country and mostly with hostile people. You may ask I chose this country it’s because I had no choice honestly but it was the nearest to where I was. I’m currently facing lots of challenges including lack of food and medication. I have been sick for week now but have no help. I will be glad for your support to access medication any donations will mean a lot. I’m also will to share my story because I have a lot to share. Thank you
