Good day everyone. My name is Stephan Maritz and I am from Johannesburg, South Africa. I have been invited to visit a friend that lives in the state of Texas in the United States of America. Due to me never leaving South Africa before, I am required to apply for a tourist visa to visit the states. Due to the fact that the South African rand is very weak against the US dollar, everything I have to pay is in dollars, and I would really appreciate your help to make this visit a reality by asking for donations towards my goal.
