heyyy sweet comrades :) !!!, I hope you’re all doing alright out there. I’m writing this because things on my side are still not okay and I don’t know how to carry it alone anymore.

Two days ago I shared with you what happened to my three girls. Thank you so much to everyone who helped… your support gave me enough to buy them clean water and food today. I can’t even put into words how that felt. One of the officers even made me taste the food before giving it to them. Maybe he didn’t trust me. I didn’t argue, I just obeyed because all I cared about was getting the food through that door.

And today was the first time I actually got to speak with my sisters properly ever since they were arrested. I finally heard their voices… and the things they told me are still crushing my heart. They said every morning the officers beat them before they line up the inmates to count them. After that they are forced to clean the whole compound before they are pushed back inside the cell.

Inside the cell it gets even worse. The other inmates force them to mop the floors and clean the toilets with no gloves. My girls said the smell is unbearable and the bleach burns their hands. At night they’re ordered to sleep in a dark wet corner of the cell with no covering, no mat, nothing. Just cement and cold water. I swear my tears started falling before they even finished talking. No one deserves to be treated like this… not for fetching water, not for living their truth, not for existing.

I tried to talk to the officers on duty today. They didn’t even give me space to speak. They didn’t want to hear anything about the abuse. They only reminded me that I still have to pay 275 usd for each of them if I want them released. They didn’t commit any crime yet they are suffering like criminals. This world is not fair to people like us.

I managed to raise 229 usd already because of your kindness. We still need 596 usd to get them out before they are taken to court and sent to prison. I’m begging softly… if you can help or even share the support link in my profile, it would mean everything right now. Every little bit moves us closer to freeing them from this nightmare.

Thank you for holding us in your hearts. I’m tired but I’m not giving up. I just pray someone out there reads this and feels us.

With love from Juba South Sudan ❤️🖤❤️
