Help our Friend Skayeir Escape Persecution for Being Gay

Imagine living in constant fear, your very existence criminalized in your own country. This is the reality for Skayeir, an orphan and member of the LGBTQ+ community in Tunisia (which throws people in jail simply for being gay).

Skayeir is an orphan and a member of the LGBT community. He is living in fear and facing constant abuse for being gay in a country where homosexuality is criminalized. At the same time, he is battling chronic health issues and dealing with the loss of his parents

Skayeir faces unimaginable challenges and harassment simply for being who he is. Police brutality has become a terrifying reality, with multiple incidents of physical assault, including having his nose broken and strangers following him home. The constant threat of violence has forced him to become a prisoner in his own home, rarely venturing outside anymore.

Skayier's solace is found in the world of fashion and social media, which he expresses through his vibrant Instagram posts @Vanitycoke. However, even this small escape is overshadowed by the constant worry and anxiety.

His health struggles are compounded by the loss of both adoptive parents in a recent accident. Chronic breathing and health problems have landed him in hospitals for extended periods, adding to the physical and emotional toll he endures in his home country.

Despite the overwhelming challenges, Skayier refuses to give up hope. He dreams of a life where he can live without fear, pursue his passion for fashion, and find the peace he so desperately deserves. Your support can make this dream a reality.
