June Total: 26.5 mi / 42.7 km

Artwork by an 11 year old girl from Khartoum. Shared with permission.

Story behind the drawing:
We used to have many neighbors. My family, my uncle Osman, and the rickshaw man lived near our house. I had many friends there. I miss them a lot.

One day, an airplane came. It started shooting at our house and the houses of our neighbors. Everything was burning. There was fire everywhere.

My father was injured. I was very scared.

After that, we left and came to South Sudan. Now we live in a camp.
I don’t like it here. I don’t feel happy here. I just remember my home and my friends.


Each day in June, I’m walking in solidarity with Sudanese refugees. My goal is to walk 3.1 mi / 5 km per day to raise $4,000 USD.

All donations will go to Trauma Rescue Aid’s food distribution program for the more than 700 Sudanese refugee families they serve. Let me know your pledge in the comments below or make your donation today at gofundme.com/traid2024

If you cannot give, could you walk to help us raise awareness? Thank you for your solidarity!
