It takes an incredible amount of work to house & feed such a large number of individuals, but with the support from allies & the LGBTQ+ community, it is possible.

There is no supper at Q@H tonight if we are not able to secure supplies in the next few hours (supermarket closes soon).
We are running out of resources to feed our community.
We have reached out to several businesses in the central town near us for assistance, and a few have donated foodstuffs, but it was not enough.
Please donate a grocery voucher to assist us 🫶🏽
Looking for a great way to support an LGBTQIA+ safe house? This thread contains action items! #LetsDoIt
Queers@Home are a safehouse in Africa for all queer people in need.
They don't accept money donations, only virtual supermarket vouchers for food, and I've been following them for a long time. They're legit.
If you can help at all, even just sharing this, please do.
Don't let them starve.
Here's how to send them the food vouchers, btw.
1000 rand is about £40 sterling / $55 US / 48€ and buys enough food for 20 people for a week. They have 39 people living in the safehouse, some of whom I'm pretty sure are children.
Small donations genuinely will make a big difference here due to the currency differences.
You are not alone if you are a survivor of GBV.
GBV activist, Shumani, educating some of our patrons about GBV & it's effect on the lives of GBV victims.
We stand against Gender-Based Violence.
Together, let's break the silence, amplify our voices, raise awareness and act to end GBV in Africa.

We need food vouchers or physical donations urgently!
We only have oats left for today.
We have sent formal letters to several textile factories/ shops (local and international) to ask for blanket donations for our organisation, but we haven't heard back from any of them yet.
Cleaning products on a table.
Groceries on a table.
Groceries in yellow plastic bags in a trolley.
Thank you once again!
We've responded to your email with the computicket reference with these images & message:
"Thank you very much for your support! This is what we were able to purchase for the safehouse.
We appreciate each and every contribution you've made to keep our safehouse open! 🏳️🌈"
Please donate a voucher if you can as we are quickly running out of food again.
Everything needs to be replenished and we also need extra support/physical donations to make sure every individual has something warm to sleep under as we are in the middle of a very cold winter.

We've received vouchers to the value of R2000 and R500 this month = R2500 total.
We need a minimum R8000 ($446) - or physical donations to that value- per month (this is on months when we receive bulk donations of vegetables & rice from local shops/farms) to feed everyone at least 2 meals per day.
