Last night, our precious and brave Victor left this Earth and his journey continues onward into the heavens. It deeply pains me that Victor has passed, yet knowing that he is now without pain brings a feeling of relief. He will forever be remembered and heaven now has another beautiful angel. 

I met Victor 10 years ago in a small village of Ngulelo in Tanzania. Many of you have followed his journey over the years and are aware of his unwavering fighting spirit. He was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy in 2013 and was dealt a different hand than most kids. Over the past few weeks, Victor's condition has spiraled and took a huge toll on his health.

It has a been a privilege to have been a part of his life for the past decade and I wish to send him off with a proper funeral service. The family would like to bury him this Friday, January 29th and so therefore, I'm hoping to quickly raise some funds for the funeral. I am kindly asking my wonderful network who has always been incredibly supportive, to pull through one last time for Victor.

"Oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone
Still so affect our lives
O siyeza (oh, I'm comin'), o siyeza (I'll be comin')
Sizofika webaba noma (you know the tide is turnin')
O siyeza, o siyeza (you know the tide is turnin')
Siyagudle lomhlaba (make my crossin')
Siyawela lapheshaya (over this dark land)
Lulezontaba ezimnyama (gonna touch your face)
Lapha sobheka phansi (gonna lay me down)
Konke ukhulupheka (in your grace)

Take me now
Don't let go
Hold me close
I'm comin' home"
