Help fund Elsy & Juan's return

Donation protected


We are hoping to help fund Elsy Bocanegra Teuta and Juan Pablo's journey back to Columbia.  They were here in Minnesota to meet their biological daughter and sister Marisa- aka Ana Maria, who was abducted at birth from the hospital in Columbia and put up for adoption. 

Marisa Bocanegra, who just this month met her Colombian mother for the first time since she was abducted as a baby, died in a car accident Tuesday November 29, 2016.

They were originally going to stay until February 1st, 2017, however with the death  of Marisa they will be going back to Columbia sooner than they anticipated. There are fees associated with changing an International flight, changed flight fees, difference in fees etc.  Any funds will be used to help cover this difference. 
 
We are incredibly thankful for anything you are able to provide for this purpose.
