I am not seeking to immigrate or leave my country; I just want to live with what remains of my family. We will return when the genocide ends. Please, we are not okay. Life here has become more than mere survival; it is a daily battle for hope. We can no longer endure this slow death and the harsh conditions surrounding us. I don’t want to stay in this hell, I want life, I want safety, I want to live freely with those I love. I don’t want to lose anyone from my family again, and I don’t want to be forced to flee once more. I just want safety, a wall that protects us from this reality that threatens our existence. We need help, to be able to live away from fear, away from this reality that steals everything from us. We urge anyone who can help us find a way out to reach out.
