It is with deeply profound sadness that I share the passing of my Mommy. I am devastated, and confused. Nothing is making sense. My twin, fr 😞

When I worked in a pediatric hospital for inpatient behavioral health, I had many patients who were young girls and teens who had been sex trafficked by their own parents, who thought that since they birthed the girls they could determine how the girls were touched.
Explaining to my very non-snuggly little daughter that I grew her & let her live inside my body for almost a year for the express purpose of being able to have a nice cuddle once in a while, so she doesn’t have a choice in the matter

Shared this earlier with friends: I have been uprooted. I will never know solid ground. My Mother is dead. My birthplace.

Only in your death will people give you money that you needed while alive
When I first donated to Javits gofundme it was around 19k, now it’s over 550k. No amount of money can make this right but at least it’s one less thing for the family to worry about.

Thank you to the lovely soul who sent me a supportive gift of $20 🫶🏿 Grateful to your support. My life is shattered. A Mother wound like no other. The loss of my first home. I feel uprooted. Bring her home. Goal: $500 $RaSakabo ca @Rachel-Sakabo vm Rachel Sakabo pp
Still crowdfunding to get her body repatriated to the states. Please share and/or give as we are just starting. I am im unimaginable pain. On a psychic level, made worse by still not yet seeing her. IT'S BEEN OVER A MONTH. $RaSakabo ca @Rachel-Sakabo vm Rachel Sakabo pp

If you slow down, you might be forced to grieve.

Went to the cemetery where my (maternal) Grandma and big sis lay. Mom was proactive, or bamboozled into a deal where the plot fits four. She'll lay with her baby, (if) when we get her back. A good day in terms of what was accomplished towards getting her. A "good" day 🫩🥺😭😭😭

Most people know that street trees have many benefits (cooling, beautification, air quality, flood mitigation). But today I learned they also decrease crime??????

Never imagined this pain. I've dealt heavily with death, and people have said it of the pain of losing your mother but like labor, no two experiences are the same. And the pain is unique to each. No one can prepare you for the labor of losing your first home. My Mommy 💔😭😭😭

I know the internet isn't real, but you all reaching out with your kind words are some of the most real feelings I've felt in a while. Words on this situation escape me. We are going to officially start raising funds to repatriate. The body. Details to come. Gratitude 🙏🏿

What is the world? So she did, before him. I don't owe that man a thing, but abuse is a complicator. Reached him only to hear him actively dying, albeit slowly, from a disease he is slowly suffocating from. I cried. I cried because I want BOTH parents. Always did. What is life?
My father is my first abuser. He laid the foundation, the groundwork; the first cornerstone to my mental health. THIS MAN CANNOT DIE BEFORE MY MOTHER, THE PARENT WHO STAYED. And yet, I must reach out and ask a hand that may not reach to help. See pinned. Share. Give. BOOST.
