My name is Mubiru Vianey. I am a father, a son, and a man whose life has been shaped by service to others. For as long as I have known myself, my purpose has been to uplift those around me quietly, faithfully, and without expectation of recognition.

For several years, I have been living with recurrent stomach cancer. As my condition has progressed, there have been very limited medical options left beyond managing the pain, and my strength has continued to decline. In this reality, I have come to understand something deeply personal and undeniable: being with my children and my mother has become the most meaningful source of comfort I have left.

Before illness, and before moving to Canada my life was devoted to humanitarian and community service. My journey of service began in war-torn South Sudan, where I volunteered as a chaplain and teacher, working closely with local communities. Together, we helped establish community resource centres safe spaces for learning, guidance, and resilience which continue to serve people to this day.

When I later returned to Uganda, my commitment to serving the vulnerable only deepened. This led me to found Divine Hope Uganda, based in Kamuli District. Through this initiative together with partners from the United States, we were able to raise and support more than 100 children, many of them orphans, ensuring access to care, education, and stability. Divine Hope Uganda also supported disadvantaged women, helping them regain dignity, opportunity, and hope within their communities.

Supporting children and women was never charity to me it was a calling rooted in faith, humanity, and the belief that every life has value. Today, the same person who once gave strength to others now finds strength in a single, simple wish.

At this stage of life, comfort is no longer found in hospitals or procedures, but in family, love, faith, and home. The thought of spending my remaining moments holding my children, sitting beside my mother, and being surrounded by familiar voices and prayers gives me peace in a way nothing else can.

Because of my medical condition, travelling safely requires special medical arrangements, including a commercial medical flight with a medical escort, as well as continued comfort-focused care upon arrival in Uganda. I share this with humility and hope. If you can imagine yourself in this moment not seeking more treatment but simply longing to be with the people who give your life meaning I ask you to stand with me.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps bring dignity, peace, and closure to this final journey.

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and humanity.
