Dearest Readers,
As I begin to type this situation about my life I am moved by heartache since I have no more tears left.
I am a 27 year old woman originally from Guyana, South America. I completed high school and thereafter I would start a relationship that would change my life forever.
My partner’s brother is a homosexual man and in Guyana at that time (2017 and prior) being homosexual was considered criminal. Persons from gangs would rape and torture homosexual men to teach them a lesson. My brother-in-law was a victim of multiple raping, homophobes would throw stones at the house threatening him that they would stone him to death along with his family, who at the time consisted of my partner, their mother, father, 3 nieces and 4 nephews.
A Canadian activist intervened and assisted my brother-in-law to seek asylum in Canada. He arrived and life went on for him. He was able to sponsor his mother and father to migrate to Canada as well, I then moved in with my partner to assist with the full responsibility of caretaking these 7 children (his nieces and nephews whom we are still unaware of their parents whereabouts) all under the age of 14 at the time (2018).
In the beginning of December 2018 my brother-in-law got married to his husband and decided since he was safe and out of the country it would be okay to upload his wedding photos on social media. The very day after, me, my partner and the children started receiving threats and more stoning on the house so much that we would have to lock up tight to stay safe.
One night (February 2019) the eldest nephew (15) was returning home from classes and a car pulled up next to him, someone came out placed a cloth over his face with some sort of substance that made him unconscious and he was taken to an underground room where he was raped on multiple occasions, the masked homophobes also stuffed their feces into his mouth, he was starved and was tied to a post so he defecated himself and urinated himself, his anus was also slashed with a sharp object. He was abducted for 4 days then they decided to release him at a river side, a lady jogging saw him and offered assistance by taking him to the hospital. We were then contacted and was heartbroken and saddened by all he endured, but still thankful he was alive.
The threats continued and my partner and I made the bold decision of fleeing to Trinidad (closest to Guyana) with these 7 children that everyone abandoned and would spend 3 years (June 2019-May 2023) enduring poverty to it’s finest, the pandemic, living off of food bank contributions and doing odd jobs just to have to some shelter and food for the 9 of us.
Organizations in Trinidad came to our rescue when they heard about our situation and saw proof (medical reports and pictures) of all that happened to my partner’s nephew, and the history with my brother-in-law. We were assisted to migrate to Canada under protection for 1 year (May 2023-May 2024) still having to make ends meet by doing odd jobs.
At this moment I am in a situation where I have no where to live so I am at my in-laws who treat me terribly yes you read right… The same people whom I stuck by and supported throughout their disaster by helping them to care for the children etc so much that I didn’t have the time to continue my studies to acquire a decent job.. I cannot begin to elaborate on the shockingly gruesome and manipulative things they have done to me.
I am actively searching for jobs to be at peace and start my life over. But I am struggling to secure something. For years I am enduring torture and depression and all I feel to do is commit suicide since I feel so much desperation and hopelessness from being 100% broke.
Life took the worst turn on me and I am seeking your generous and humane donation to help take me out of rock-bottom. I am sure because of my very gentle heart and spirit good karma is on the way at sometime. It would be more than greatly appreciated if you can assist me with anything you can afford.
At this point in my life I am desperate and have no support system.
Thank you sooo soo much in advance for you time and love!
