Let's do this!

In just a couple hours, we've already made it a fifth of the way there! 100 bucks and counting! Thanks, and keep em coming!! Let's tell Francis he's graduating tomorrow!

My Friend Francis

Dear Friends. On the right of the screen, you will see a picture of Francis, a dear friend of Evan's and mine, and a medical student in Uganda in his final semester. He is so close to being a doctor, but yet quite far, because he can't afford the tuition he must pay in order to take his qualifying exams. This is a man who often spends weekends in refugee camps caring for people even poorer than he is, all day long, for zero pay. He is dedicated to serving his people through medicine. He is a good guy, and it's a crime that he's not better taken care of. He lives in a single room, and when I was there, he had no electricity. So he studies by candlelight. To become an MD, he needs exactly 1,089,000UGX. That is 558.46USD, at the rate of 1USD=1950UGX today. Please take this amazing opportunity to have a hand in helping Francis to become a physician. In only 2 minutes, you can change a life forever by clicking on the paypal link at the right and donating. I will send everything donated, and pay the transfer fee myself. ANd it's urgent. He's in dire straights. Thank you, and bless you. Peace, Nathan

PS this is my personal paypal account for the record.
PPS, I'm also sending Francis a note with all of your first names so he knows how many people are supporting him. If you want to opt out, let me know.
