So, things are different in Italy? It’s really strange that a public lawyer cannot be offered for such cases..

 

Also, something important, since you have already been advised to move to another country, I would like to ask you first if they took your fingerprints in Italy before telling you to move, if that’s  the case, ur application would be rejected in the other countries and they would tell you to go back to Italy, so be careful 

As of right now, his fingerprints were not taken. But he's going to try to get help from an organization in Bologna. My friends and I have sent out some messages and will be trying to make contact with any organization that can help him tomorrow.

 

Honestly, it would great if other Italians could help out with this. My Italian is pretty good, but I'm a heritage speaker. A native speaker would be greatly appreciated.

Sad to hear you're going through this sis, hopefully you'll get help over there. Wish the best of luck!!

He's on route to another Italian town where there may be a chance for him to enter a refugee camp. He's had a hell of a time trying to get anywhere with the authorities. Unfortunately, the LGBT organization where he was last was unable to offer substantial help.

 

He's caught in a cycle of "you need X to get Y, but you need Y to get X" at the moment.

Do you know if there's a way we can raise money for him?

I hope you can make it through this. Do you have a PayPal account? 

 

if you're able to, try to make one. Then people can send money and you can eventually get a card. Sending positive vibes.

Good luck wherever you are going  I second the user who talked about making a PayPal account, it is quick and free and maybe some people here would be able to send you a bit of money 

 

Hello everyone. Posting after a long time. I am in a much better condition now. Process is looong..longer than usual but I will make through it. Thank you so much everyone for support. 

 

It sucks that I could not figure out a way to gather donations despite many of you all willing to donate. I finally figured out something but it's cashapp not PayPal. So if any American or British members are willing to donate they can do it on this cashapp:  aaliza02
