u/I_am_gods_spit

I am from Kenya and from a very religious muslim family.I decided that I could not continue to live a lie after hiding my apostasy for a year now in the hopes that they will not take it too harshly.I was wrong!

They kicked me out!

I was to join university this coming September for studies but they told me that they will not pay for my fees.They know my future lies with my education.They care more to please their god than for my future.All except my mother who tried to plead with them as she has no financial capabilities to educate me.

I want to succeed for myself and for my mother.I want to show them that even after all the hate they have shown me,I still made it.I want to be independent of them and their beliefs,but I will never hate them.They are all victims of indoctrination.

If any of you know of fully funded scholarship opportunities please help as I have applied to so many but I always end up getting rejected by them.I can't tell anyone even in government since people here are mostly religious and even if they are christian,they can side with religion and expose my plans to my family.

I will likely have no place to stay soon and no money to sustain myself.The future is bleak and I am starting to lose hope.But I know this is a hurdle I will jump over.

Edit: I am supposed to join uni this September.I have no idea how I will do it.Its actually insane what people do for religion

I lost Ollie when he was just 2 years old. One morning he went out like he always did and never came back. I searched for a month, put up flyers, checked every shelter within driving distance. Eventually I had to accept he was gone. It broke me.

Yesterday I was walking home from work and noticed a cat following me. I didn't think much of it. But when I got to my front door and turned around, he was still there. Just sitting on the pavement, staring at me.

That's when I saw the patch of missing fur on his back.

It was Ollie.

I crouched down and reached out to him. He spooked and disappeared into the bushes beside my house. I searched until it got dark and found nothing. Took the next day off work and looked for hours. Nothing.

He would be 7 years old now. I have no idea where he has been, how he survived, or how he recognized me after all this time. But he followed me home. After five years, he followed me home.

Has anyone been through something like this? Any advice on how to get him to come back?

Edit:He came back!

I opened the door and I found him staring at me.He then rubbed his body on me then proceeded to meaw loudly like he just confirmed it was indeed me!.He was hesitant to enter the house but I opened it and left him there alone while I watched at a distance.He sat there for a bit and then came and rubbed on me again.

I am so happy I could cry.

The food and clothes I put outside with gym sweat helped I think.Thankyou all for the great advices.

He looks like he has been to hell and back,he has a missing front canine and his hair is rough and infested with fleas and ticks.I am taking him to the vet immediately!

Edit 2 :1st may 2025. Took my baby to the vet.he has severe teeth infection and breakages due to broken teeth which was caused by blunt trauma to his head and body. He also is experiencing pain in his body possibly caused by the blunt trauma.

The treatment is proving to be very costly.If you have any capacity to help out my baby in any way,please do.I am facing problems footing the bills for his care

Here is my PayPal email; lofidadacha@gmail.com

I didn't mean to ask for a donation but my baby needs it.I will post his pictures in the comments for those who asked to see him.
