Dear Supporters,

I need your help now more than ever.

As many of you know, I have been fighting for justice ever since I faced racial abuse and assault in Australia back in 2017. Despite my efforts to seek support from government bodies, I have been repeatedly denied help and even threatened for standing up for my rights.

Latest Threat:
I recently received a direct threat from the Australian Department of Home Affairs. They informed me that they are referring my information to Border Force and threatening to arrest me, even though I have a valid visa and am committed to keeping my lawful status in Australia. I have not committed any crime or offense — I am simply a victim who is speaking up for my human rights.

I have even provided the Department of Home Affairs with nearly 100 records of my visits to psychiatrists and psychologists, along with prescription records for my medications. However, they completely ignored this crucial information and did not even mention it in their response. How can they ignore the medical evidence that shows the psychological toll I’ve endured from the abuse and trauma?

Despite reaching out to agencies like Legal Aid Queensland and the Queensland Human Rights Commission, I was told my claims of racial abuse were just a "joke" or "drunken behavior". When I asked them, “What about if I defend myself?” — in response to the assaults I faced — I was told that defending myself would lead to me being arrested. How can this be acceptable in any justice system?

But here's something important: these government agencies never give these kinds of disrespectful responses in writing. They always say these things face-to-face, which makes me believe they do this intentionally—so there is no record of their response. They know what they’re doing is wrong, and they don’t want any proof of it.

In addition to this, I am now facing severe financial and medical struggles. I no longer have health insurance, and I am not eligible for Medicare. This means I cannot see a doctor or receive the two essential medications I need to manage my Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by the racial abuse I have endured. It's incredibly difficult to stop these medications, especially without the supervision of a doctor, but I have no choice. I have to live without them, which is taking a serious toll on my well-being.

As for food, I am grateful to some charity organizations that are doing their best to provide me with what I need. Your generosity is keeping me going.

I am also incredibly thankful to all of you who have signed my petition and promoted it to others. Your support is what gives me the strength to keep going despite everything.

I am fighting for my life, my dignity, and the future of people who are treated unjustly. But I can't do this alone.

What You Can Do:
1. Spread the petition to your friends, family, and social circles.
2. Speak out against racial injustice and share your voice to show support.
3. Continue supporting this cause. I need your voice to make a real impact.

The change I need starts with you. If you unite your voices with mine, We can make a real difference for not just me, but for future generations who deserve better.

Thank you so much for your support. I will not back down. Together, We can fight this injustice.
