Help Godi After Tragic Loss

I'm raising funds for a dear person whom I have known in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro-Durham community for over 30 years. His name is Godi Godar, a true servant and environmental conservationist for Mother Earth. Godi started the nonprofit, Go Conscious Earth in 2012, which helped protect a one million acre tract of land in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Often called “the Second Lung of Mother Earth,” the Congo Basin is critical to global climate stability. Godi was also named a local hometown hero in April 2024.

Tragically, Godi suddenly lost his son, Bodean Otafiana Molanga, on April 3, 2025 due to a head injury. We are heartbroken with Godi for this loss. Bodean leaves behind a thirteen year old daughter, Donita, who is Godi's granddaughter. Godi hopes to formally adopt Donita and bring her to Durham to live with him. But, the financial cost is great for her passport, immigration attorneys, filing fees, plane tickets and meeting her basic needs during the process. Your support of any amount will go to meet these costs. Let's give back to Godi Godar , a member of our community who has given so much to us! Thanks and God bless.
