Keep the Santana Family together!

I have known Jackie 16 years. Andre and Jackie met through a mutal friend and after a year or so, they fell in love and began dating. A year or so later they got married, a baby boy joined them and Jackie's two daughters, making them a family of five.  Andre and Jackie's son was also found deaf so they made the decision to move to Maryland to ensure their two deaf children would attend a quality deaf school. Doing something that was in the best interest of their children meant it was very difficult for Andre to renew his work visa originally granted in Maine in Maryland. The Brazillian Embassy is requesting for Andre's physical presence in the next few months before being granted another visa. This is a fundraiser to pay for Andre's one way ticket (Embassy rules) and paperwork processing fees. Another fundraiser will be required in order to pay for his return trip to Maryland once granted. Let's help keep the Santana family together- in all the years I have known Jackie, she has never been with anyone better than Andre. He is truly her prince. -Regan
