Help house a homeless disabled Sudani in London

Hey online community,

I am reaching out to you as a homeless and disabled Sudanese man in London, in a crisis. For the purpose of this fundraiser I will use the pseudonym, Ahmed Omer. I wish to keep my identity anonymous as sadly there’s a lot of stigma and shame around homelessness in my wider community.

I am an artist but struggle to earn money consistently as I have a disability that seriously impairs my daily life and ability to work. And a year & a half ago, I was evicted from my home as I couldn’t afford my landlord’s rent increase.

Since then, I’ve become homeless and have been sleeping in living rooms of kind people in my community as I’ve sadly received minimal support from my council and even experienced racism.

I’ve been trying to look after myself and navigate all my problems in silence - my homelessness & poverty, my disability, my large debt, my deteriorating mental health, struggling to eat food daily alongside this cost of living crisis and the lack of council housing support. But I’ve reached a desperate crisis because I seriously don’t know how I’m going to survive for the next couple of months in this very expensive city.

This gofundme is my hopeful attempt to lean into the strength and kindness of the London and online community, because I physically can’t do this alone and no one ever should.

The money raised will support me with immediate relief for the next couple of months as I hope to receive income from potential work opportunities soon.

The calculated target of this gofundme will help me:

Your donation, no matter the size, can really change my life and help get my life off the ground. Even sharing this will mean the world to me.

And if you’ve read this far, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

With sincere love and appreciation,

Ahmed Omer
