Baby Grace lost both her parents just weeks ago when they were shot and killed in ongoing violence in the region. Now orphaned at only three months old, she depends entirely on the kindness and compassion of others for survival.
Grace is currently under the care of Eric Mupika, a respected senior member of Rotaract Université de Goma and a Healing Circle Work teacher in Africa. Eric has stepped forward to ensure that this vulnerable child receives immediate care, protection, and basic necessities.
From Australia, humanitarian volunteer Helen Stokes has joined efforts to raise emergency funds to support Grace’s urgent needs.
Why Immediate Help Is Needed
At just 12 weeks old, Baby Grace requires:
Essential medicines and medical injections
Safe shelter and daily care
Without consistent nutrition and medical attention, a baby this young is at serious risk. In a region already facing instability and limited healthcare resources, access to baby formula and medicine can mean the difference between life and death.
Transparency and Accountability
Funds raised will be managed on the ground by Eric Mupika in Goma to ensure:
Purchase of baby formula and nutritional support
Medical consultations and prescribed treatments
Helen Stokes, who has worked alongside Eric for over five years, is coordinating support efforts from Australia to ensure safe and accountable assistance reaches Baby Grace.
A Call for Compassion
Grace is described as a beautiful, gentle baby who now depends entirely on community care. No child should begin life with such loss. Yet through collective compassion, her story can change.
This is an appeal not only for financial assistance but for shared humanity.
