my parent's coming to my graduation

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Ikenna okwarabizie.  I am a current student and a member of the men's basketball team at UCLA, I am also an international student from Nigeria. growing up as a kid in Nigeria my family has always been poor and still is to date and throughout the time that I've been in the united states, I've been alone without any family and have always been homesick. As a student-athlete here in the US, I have had various occasions that have required my parents to be present, occasions like my high school graduation, my admission into Tyler Junior College in Texas, the time I had surgery on my left shoulder, senior night, and to make it worse, my whole career here as a basketball player. My parents never got to see me play, not because they didn't want to but all because they are very poor and don't have the means. As it is right now, the one occasion left that my parents still have a chance to be part of and be there for me is my graduation here at UCLA. I graduate next month in June and it will mean the world to me if my parents could be there for me just this one time, but as always I know that they won't be there, which is why I am creating this GoFundMe so maybe my dream of actually having my parents at my graduation might come true. The person or party I am raising this funds for are my parents so that they could hopefully make it to my graduation, The funds would be used in processing all the necessary things entailed in the rigorous and expensive process of coming to America, and it would also be used to pay for their accommodation for the duration of their stay during my graduation.
My graduation date is fast approaching if we can reach the targeted funds as soon as possible so that they can start the processing, that would be very great and very much appreciated. meanwhile, I want you all to know that no amount donated is too small as it would be very beneficial towards this cause. I would like to thank you in advance for your donations to help make sure that my parents are there for me at my graduation. it means the world to me, thank you and God bless.
