Support the work

Everything on this site is free and the support line costs money to run: airtime in three countries, and small emergency payments to people with nowhere to sleep. Two ways to help, both honest, both small.

Where the money goes

  • Airtime and data for the volunteers who answer the line in Nigeria, Ghana and the UK.
  • Emergency help for LGBT+ Nigerians in immediate danger: a night in a guest house, a bus fare out of a dangerous town, a clinic visit, a phone to replace one that was taken.
  • This site, which costs a small amount a year to host.
  • Nothing goes to me. My books pay my rent.

Two ways

Buy Me a Coffee takes cards and PayPal and works from anywhere. Any amount. If you would rather have something in your hands, buy a book on Amazon; the royalties go the same way and you get to read.

What I promise

  • Money given for emergencies is spent on emergencies. I keep a simple record and will describe, without names, what it did if you ask.
  • No one who calls the line is ever asked for money.
  • If the line ever stops, this page will say so, and the donation link will come down the same day.

Other ways to help

  • Share the support line with someone who needs it. A screenshot in a group chat has saved lives.
  • Leave an honest review of a book on Amazon. It is how the next reader finds it.
  • If you are LGBT+ or an ally and can answer a phone reliably, volunteer.
  • If you are a journalist, the press page has what you need. Coverage keeps people safe.
Questions

About donating

Is the donation tax-deductible?

No. This is a volunteer effort run through a personal Buy Me a Coffee page, not a registered charity.

Can I give in naira?

Buy Me a Coffee takes international cards. If you are in Nigeria and want to give locally, email [email protected] and we will arrange it.

Is it safe to give?

Buy Me a Coffee is a widely used platform; your card details never reach us. We see a name, an amount and any message you leave.

Or just read.

The journal is free and the books are on Amazon. Reading is help too.
