Hello sweet comradesā¦ I hope youāre all doing okay out there. On my sideā¦ things are completely not okay. Itās been a really heavy week and I donāt even know how to carry all of it by myself anymore.
It has been five days now ever since three of my girls Pretty, Olivia and Charity got arrested ā¦They went out to fetch water after our caretaker disconnected ours. They left without telling me, the same way we used to before the attack. I expected them to return in a few hoursā¦ but they didnāt come back at all.
I searched everywhere, three nights with no sleep, walking till my legs hurt, asking anyone who mightāve seen them. Nothing. My whole chest was tight with fear.
When I finally went to the police to report them missing, one officer said he knew where they were. My heart dropped. After he spoke to another officer, they directed me to Gudele Police Stationā¦ and thatās where I found my girls. They were arrested and charged with āidling and disorderly conductā
Today I went back to speak to the officer in charge. He told me that because South Sudan is considered a war zone, anyone who isnāt a citizen must carry documents at all times. I even ran home to get our papers but he still said it was too late since theyāre already in jail.
Right now the only way to get them out is to raise 275 USD for each of them. If we canāt, theyāll go to court and then to prisonā¦ and that thought is eating me alive. Iāve been visiting them and they keep asking for food and clean water and Iāve had nothing to give since all the support we got went to clearing the rent. Right now donations have slowed down so much.
If anyone here can help ā¦even just a little or by sharing ā¦it would mean more than I can explain. The support link is in my profile if youāre able to help or pass it on. Every bit genuinely counts right now.
Thank you to everyone who reads this, who cares, who takes a moment to hold us in your thoughts. Iām trying my best to stay strong but I canāt lieā¦ this is one of the hardest moments of my life.

itās so unfairā¦ my girls were arrested for just fetching water. they had their documents and it didnāt matter. it breaks my heart.
The police are extorting you for money. What a horrible situation. I will send what I can.
Thank you love ā¦ itās been really rough. I appreciate anything you can help with.
