*The Sossou's Need You*

Donation protected
Hello! My friends, the Sossou's, are in need of the help of kind people. Sarah and Cedric are two of my closest friends here in Lynchburg. It is hard to witness the pain they are feeling and to know they are in need of financial assistance. I am hoping that some of you can help. 

Recently, Cedric and Sarah lost their father and father-in-law unexpectedly. As the eldest male in the family, Cedric is expected to contribute to funeral costs. In addition to helping the family with these costs, Sarah and Cedric are hoping to travel to Benin in West Africa ASAP which will require: passport renewal, a vistor's visa, and airfare (which averages $1800.00 a ticket). As you can imagine these costs are overwhelming, especially considering the recent costs associated with the filing of Cedric's US residency paperwork.

Please consider helping my dear friends in their time of need. They are great people who deserve the world and I can honestly say, they would do it for you. Every penny counts! Thank you for your time and to those of you who donate, many thanks and many blessings to you.
