HELPING EROCK TO GO BACK TO HIS MOM

Donation protected
Hello Dearest friends, this is Ana Laidley.  I hope this note finds you well.  I am creating a go fund me on behalf of Erock dos Santos.  Erock has been a good friend and important contributor in our community for long time.  I think we can each find key ways he has work to build our community and we have all bore witness to the great many personal challenges he has endured.  However, I believe this challenge to be worthy of special attention and support as it involves the love of another.  Erock's mother has been hospitalized for more than one month due to kidney and heart failure.  In talking to Erock's father, I learned that her condition is terminal and she has very little time left with us.  Erock is unable to go to Brasil because when he was homeless,  living in the San Francisco streets, he lost all his documentations.  I am creating this go fund me to help Erock:

1 - to apply for his greencard replacement ($450-$600)
2 - to acquire his Brazilian Passport ($80-$100)
3 - to cover for his ticket to Brazil ($1000-$1200)
4 - other expenses. 

Erock called  me few days ago in despair asking for my assistance.  I just felt compelled to help, because I can understand the pain of dealing with illness in the family and how difficult is to deal with the grief and loss.  I also, talking to Erock's father, Josias, I learned that the family is really struggling and he, Erock's sisters and nieces are taking shifts to take care of the mother and they don't have the financial resources to help Erock.  They need him to be there to help also.  Josias explained to me that the doctors are not giving any hope and the family is really trying their best to work through this tough time.   
I really hope that this great community of friends can put an effort together to help Erock to go to his mother in what little time she has left.
