The Nuba Mountains in Sudan have been repeatedly devastated by civil war and violence for over half a century. Governments turning against their own people. Families ripped apart. Children growing up with the constant threat of bombings and the terror of their homes being destroyed or their families killed.

There’s one hospital here to help mend the wounded and rebuild. And only one surgeon: Dr. Tom Catena.

The defining characteristic of Dr. Tom is this: he stays.

In the face of death, in the middle of burning villages and bleeding children and widespread poverty, Dr. Tom stays. He’s on call 24/7 - on the weekends, in the middle of the night, and he sees as many as 400 patients a day. Even following a ceasefire, in the wake of such atrocities, this community needs support. The war decimated the land, economy and health system. But Dr. Tom can't do it alone. He needs your help.
