Sankofa for Healing.

Donation protected
Adebisi Agoro is a man who has devoted his life to fatherhood and to being a force for good in this world. He has done that beautifully and has experienced many challenges along the way — the most difficult one being the passing of his teenage son, Bodunde, last year. In an attempt to proceed forward with life amidst the pain, and to provide for his two daughters, Adebisi has not been offered the time, space or resources necessary to truly begin the healing process after all that has happened. We are asking that loved ones, family friends, or anyone with a heart for healing offer whatever they can to Adebisi’s healing retreat fund. The goal is to raise enough money for Adebisi to take this 2-week trip and to begin the healing work that he was unable to do immediately upon Bodunde’s passing — as he was tasked with returning to work shortly after.

Anything helps. Your contributions appreciated. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Funmilola Fagbamila (Adebisi’s cousin)

In all honesty this was and is a hard thing to do. For my life I (Adebisi Agoro II) have always been independant and have always had an issue asking others to help me personally. Reason being is because for those around me i have always been the one helping. I guess the tables have turned. As you all know by now i lost my son, my light and my love at the beginning of last summer to a tragic camping accident which turned my world upside down. Due to the fact that i am a father and provider i havent had the proper time, place nor resources to regroup and heal properly. I am asking for all those who may know my story to help in any kind of way so that i may take some time off to go to Nigeria to visit my Grandprents gravesites so that i can bring some of my sons belongings to place alongside his ancestors. I titled my campaign Sankofa for healing because Sankofa means in order to move forward one must return to the past. I am attempting to heal and gather myself by returning to our great past in Africa in order to move forward with clarity. I don’t speak much about my struggles emotionally and mentally revolving around this tradgedy however these have been the hardest months of my entire life. Everyday is a struggle to deal with the reality that i will never ever in this life get the chance to talk to, see or hug my one and only son. I always looked forward to one day having the oportunity to take my son to Africa to see his people. This dream can now never be acheived. The least i can do in his memory is to take a piece of his legacy to rest alongside his ancestors. I would appreciate anyone with a heart to help spread this campaign and if possible help towards the cause by donating. Be Well. #Bodundeworld
