Hello everyone, My name is CyaraKaira. I’m a trans girl and a refugee recently resettled in Canada. Before coming here, I spent years in Kakuma refugee camp and later in Gorom. I’m still dealing with the effects of that experience both physically and mentally. I’m sorry for the essay please bear with me for a minute.

Also my post was deleted because I had shared sensitive medical information but I have been told to post again.

Since arriving, things have honestly been harder than I expected. I’ve been struggling with my health, adjusting to a completely new environment and dealing with ongoing mental health challenges. I’ve been trying to stay strong and figure things out on my own for a while I avoided asking for help but right now I’m in a situation where I really can’t manage everything alone.

At the moment, I don’t have stable income yet. I’ve been applying for jobs and volunteer opportunities to build Canadian experience but I haven’t heard back so far. I’m also struggling with consistent access to food and managing my medication.

I also still have my sisters back who are struggling and I’ve always been someone they rely on. Not being able to support them right now has been really overwhelming. It’s been weighing on me a lot emotionally.

If anyone has advice, resources or is able to offer any kind of support, I would deeply appreciate it. Even small help goes a long way right now.

I’ve set up a PayPal in case anyone is able or willing to help kindly.
