Mo, thanks for your response and this is the first time I am seeing that quote from Soffie Ceesay. In between, I have corresponded with her twice and she indicated that she had responded to my mails and I told her that I did not see them. Yes, I did hear from Saul, but he declined the offer to help due to other conditions. I am glad that someone has volunteered to collect the funds and I will send Soffie a private mail to transfer the funds already collected and direct others that wish to contribute to her. Thank you for informing me about the quote.
