Please Help My Friend, Roy

My dear friend Roy has made a heroic journey from the the horrors of war-torn Congo to political asylum in the US. After many years of hard work and separation he has been able to bring his family to safety in the US. Despite his best efforts working as an electrical contractor, raising the needed $15,000 to procure permanent residency for his wife (allowing her to work) and four children has proved beyond his means, especially as he is still supporting three adopted orphaned children living in Rwanda. 
Friends have joined forces to help fund raise for this beautiful family, with a goal of raising the needed money by May 1st. If you would like to help, send me a message and I'll send you the information for the fund that has been set up through Wells Fargo to help them. Although Roy has moved out of state and I have not yet met his family, we developed a special bond during his time in Virginia, and he feels like a brother to me. 
 Thank you so much in advance for your support!
