I’m Kamarah Apollo, an LGBTI refugee from Uganda who recently was fortunate enough to receive permission to travel to the United States, where I will seek asylum. I have endured years of persecution in Uganda followed by two years of hunger and repression in Kenya.

 

Now I seek  your help with preparations for my travels.

 

You can read my story here: Out of Kampala’s frying pan, into Nairobi’s fire. That’s on the Erasing 76 Crimes blog. Its editor, Colin Stewart, is helping with this appeal.

 

These are my current needs:

  • Suitcase — $100
  • Trousers — $100
  • Shirts and T-shirt — $100
  • Backpack — $100
  • Three pairs of shoes — $150
  • Transportation to my (donated) air flight to the U.S. — $70.

 

If possible, I would also appreciate help with these expenses, so they are included in the total appeal:

  • This month’s rent in Kenya — $250
  • Cosmetics — $40

 

Please help me. God bless you.
