Hello everyone! Don’t have a lot to say, finally got around to making the new mega.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Hi everyone, I’m Onandrah
I’m a proud trans woman and disabled refugee currently living in a settlement camp in . I fled Uganda after the passing of the anti-gay bill…it became too dangerous for someone like me to live freely and safely. Now, I’m doing my best to survive and hold on to hope even in very difficult conditions.
I also live with HIV, which adds another layer to my daily struggles especially with limited access to healthcare and support. Being in a space like this, where we can speak openly and support one another, means a lot.
Sometimes life feels like too much, but I’m still here. And if you’re still here too, I want you to know you’re not alone. I see you. I’m rooting for all of us.
Sending love and strength from Gorom Camp in South Sudan. Onandrah
