Reunite Stephanie's Family

Donation protected
I am trying to bring my new family home from Lagos, Nigeria to Milwaukee Wisconsin. 

Back Story:
Last year, for my 39th birthday, I decided to take a Steve Harvey "Jump" and fly to Lagos to meet Femi.  A man whom I have been chatting with for almost 2 years.

I was thinking; "What do I have to lose. I have no kids, not married and I have never flown before.  Its time for  my "Eat, Pray, Love" adventure . 

  Well, we are in year 3 and happily engaged.   I thought I was content being alone but then I had my entire world changed for the better with Femi, and his two wonderful children Temmi and Seun.  Femi and I feel blessed to have found one another because we have been insnyc from the very first day we chatted.  Through faith and fellowship, we helped each other heal past wounds.

Purpose:
After 8 months of waiting and thousands of dollars later, we are approved for the K-1 and K-2 US travel Visas. We only have until March 7th, 2018,  to get the flight fees for Femi, Temmi, and Seun before their American Visa expires. We thought we had more time since our case was put on administrative processing which can take an additional 60 days, but the travel visas was approved in 12 days which put us in a terrible time crunch. 

Break down of $5500:
 85% for flight fees
10% for beds and linen
5% for Winter clothes and school uniforms. 

These donations... will not only reunite a new family, but it will also give more opportunities and a better quality of life for Femi, Seun, Temmi and me.  I really thought my chance of having my own family was over... but when Seun and Temmi, looked at me and called me; "Mom," my heart melted.  I fell in love with Femi, Seun and Temmi.   
My life feels complete with them.   

So please,  help me bring my family to America. Help me unite my family as soon as possible.  Opportunity only comes once and I feel like this is my shot to create the life I want.  A life full of Love, Happiness, and laughter. 

Any donation amount will gladly be accepted.   

Thank you for your time and consideration
Sincerely, 
Stephanie.
