Plane tickets for V's family

My name is Michael Boone and one of my good friends, V, was forced to be seperated from his family due to terrible persecution in his home country. I met him through a mentor program at our church and was assigned to help him adjust to America. He is trying to purchase plane tickets for his family to leave his home country and join his brother in another country in order to escape the violence. This is a critical step in the future reunion of V, his wife, and his children. I have to be vague for he and his family's safety, but feel free to reach out to me if you desire to hear more of his story. The plan is for me to receive the money directly into my bank account and then to send the money to him via western union so he can transfer the money to his family and purchase the tickets. I have successfully used this method for V in the past in smaller amounts to help his family and know that it works.
