Comrades… I just wanted to share a small but really important update from us here in Juba.

When I made my last post, things felt impossible. I was so scared we’d lose the little space keeping me and my sisters safe. Then some incredibly kind comrades stepped in and because of that support, we were able to raise $531. I still can’t believe it sometimes. That money helped us finally eat properly again after days of just surviving on sugar water.

We managed to pay half of our rent and the caretaker reconnected electricity and WiFi, which already makes things a bit easier. We can at least communicate and charge our phones again. But we’re still struggling badly with water…we can’t access the toilets or bathroom and we have to fetch water in small jerrycans for everything. It’s exhausting but we’re doing our best to hold on.

Right now, we still owe $469 to finish paying the rent. The caretaker has been kind for now, but we don’t know how long that will last. Finishing the balance would mean we can finally have some peace, access water again and focus on getting food. Any extra help would also go toward food since what we have won’t last long.

I can’t say thank you enough to everyone who’s helped us get this far. You’ve kept us safe for another day and that’s everything. I hate asking again but we’re still not out of danger yet. If you can help or even just share our story, it really means the world.
