Reunite James and his Family.

Donation protected
My co-worker and friend, James, has lived in Omaha for 15 years. He moved here from southern Sudan as a refugee back in 2001 in order to escape from the South Sudanese Civil War. He has a wife (Ayuor) and a son (Mayiik). He has been trying to bring them to the United States from Uganda for 3 years. The only time James was able to see his son was back in 2013 shortly after he was born. They have finally gotten through the rigors of the Visa application process and now need $2,000 for the plane ticket in order to unite James and his family. Their Visa expires by October 15th, so if we can't raise the money by then, they will have to reapply and pay the Visa fee again. Please help us reunite this family in the United States where they can get a fresh start and Mayiik, his son, can have a bright future.
