Hi everyone,

We’re coming together to support someone very special—Eva, a devoted mother and incredible friend—who is hoping to visit her husband, Patrick, in Uganda.

Patrick was recently deported to Uganda, a heartbreaking and life-altering situation for their entire family. After living in the United States for nearly 35 years and building a fulfilling life here, being forced to leave has been devastating, turning their world upside-down! The sudden separation has been incredibly difficult, leaving Eva and her children navigating the emotional weight of missing a husband and father who has always been a central part of their lives.

This trip is about so much more than travel—it’s about reconnecting a family that has been torn apart. It’s a chance for Eva and her children to spend some much needed meaningful time with Patrick, strengthen their bond, and create lasting memories after such a difficult and emotional period.

Anyone who knows Eva knows her strength, resilience, and the unwavering love she pours into her children every day. The goal is to help the family travel to visit their husband and father, allowing them to maintain a strong and ongoing connection. Ideally, this support would make it possible for them to visit more than once.

Your support will help make this possible by covering:

• Airfare for Eva and her children

• Travel-related expenses

• Peace of mind so she can make this journey without financial stress

Every donation—big or small—brings Eva and her children one step closer to this deeply meaningful reunion.

If you’re unable to give, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Thank you for supporting Eva and the entire Ariko family—your contributions are helping make it possible for them to spend meaningful, quality time with their husband and father.
