Justin Saio Kabubi Mukumbilwa—The Des Moines community is mourning the loss of Justin Saio Kabubi Mukumbilwa, a refugee from Congo who arrived in the United States in 2020 with dreams of a better life for his family. After a courageous battle with cancer, Justin has sadly passed away, leaving behind his wife and young children, who are now facing immense grief and financial difficulties.
Justin’s journey in the U.S. was filled with hope, but it was tragically cut short when he was diagnosed with cancer just six months after beginning work. Despite his determination and the efforts of modern medicine, the illness progressed rapidly, ultimately overwhelming his body.
In response to this devastating loss, the community has rallied around Justin’s family. A GoFundMe campaign has been organized by Mwamini Sula-Keller to help alleviate the financial burden they now face. As of now, $230 has been raised out of a $20,000 goal, with donations from generous supporters like Eugene Kabamba ($100), Gloire Kambaza ($30), Bahati Joshua ($50), and Andrew Keller ($50).
The community has also expressed their condolences and support on social media. Pst Ishibwami Job posted on Facebook, calling for financial assistance for the burial, stating, "People of God, would you assist financially for the burial of our brother who just passed away in Des Moines. Let’s come together and help them in their time of need." Yusufu Wa Mwesa also offered words of comfort, saying, "Pole sana kwa msiba!" (So sorry for the loss).
Justin’s passing has left a deep void in the hearts of his family and those who knew him. The Des Moines community is united in their efforts to support his family through this difficult time, ensuring that they do not face this tragedy alone.
