An asylum seeker from Uganda was found dead inside her home with her starving and malnourished 1-year-old child crying beside her body. A statement from PAIH stressed that the son was “weakened from several days of starvation” when they were found. Several weeks prior to her death, Baguma called PAIH for help because she did not have money for both her and her child. A GoFundMe fundraiser has since been set up to cover for Baguma’s funeral expenses and to help out her son and family. ADVERTISEMENTShe also emphasized that once Baguma’s son is old enough, he will want to ask the same questions.
