Update on Helping Adeleke

Blog Posted:8/12/2012 3:03:00 AM

Adeleke's birthday is on the 29th. Receiving and shipping the computer has not worked out as of yet. A long time has passed trying to coordinate things. So, I am going to send him what I have already received so he can hopefully receive it in time for his birthday. Thank you all for your donations. Hopefully, be will be able to add it to his savings and buy a computer.

A BIG THANK YOU to those of you, you know who you are, who have followed through and helped me help Adeleke. May God bless you richly.

Sincerely and with Love,
Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen

NOTE: On Wednesday, I will deposit whatever I have and make arrangements for a Western Union Money Transfer to him. If you haven't donated and wish to do so, mail it today and send a note that it is already in the mail. We still have a few days before his birthday. I don't think he would mind waiting until Friday for me to make the transfer planned for Wednesday. Hoping to send what he needs. Thanks for your interest. Sincerely, Dane Ann

PD Thank you for your comments. I do hope you are feeling like avoiding the world and that all is well with you. I did not receive any recent soupmail from you, either. Perhaps facebook is a good way to communicate...more directly. I do hope that you will be able to follow through and help Adeleke directly with a money transfer. Because without it, he will not have enough to buy his computer. It is sad that sending the computer plan did not work ouT. What happened? Anyway, Adeleke needs $250.00 in addition to what he has already saved in order to make the purchase. I have recieived 10 + 30 + 40 and I had planned to donate 50, which equals $130.00. Thanks for your interest.
