Assist Firdous's Family Evacuate from Sudan

On April 14th, 2023, I boarded a flight from the US to Sudan to visit my family. This was a long-awaited family reunion to see my widowed mom, two sisters, and brother after years of being away in the US providing for them financially. However, this day would soon be a nightmare.

During my flight, I received a notification that our connecting flight to Sudan had been canceled. Confused and devastated, friends frantically called, saying Sudan has taken all the breaking news headlines. The airport shut down, war has started.

I couldn’t reach my family, and all I could see were horrific images of murder and rape. Every day, I wonder if they made it alive. A year into war now, my family has not yet witnessed a peaceful sky. They roam the country through the nights for a safe corner, and somehow manage to slip away from nearby attacks. Today, it doesn’t matter if they found food or had electricity or found a place to sleep – their survival is all that matters.

As a full-time nurse working tirelessly to support my family, I’m exhausting my financial means to help them flee from Sudan. Kindly help me provide them a place to settle, go to school, work to afford basic needs like food and electricity, and slowly build a future. Your support is appreciated tremendously.
