Please help if you can. Thank you!

My son's friend's father Mohamed Naser was taken by ICE despite his pending asylum status from Libya. We have community support and legal help (we are in Greensboro NC).
Of course, there will be on going expenses while we work to reunite Mohamed with his family. If you are in a position to help please consider making a contribution. Thank you DU!

PayPal is an option when you click on the gofund me page. Options include Apple Pay, papal and other options. MLAA Jul 21 #4
