Event Description

Hi Everyone. Very important message, I need your help if possible.

I'm not sure if you have met Leo Johnson the young man (25), McMaster Student, originally from Liberia who was torn from his family at 15years old and lived in refugee camps for 8years survived 2 wars alone and managed to make it to Canada 3 years ago. As soon as he stepped on our soil he saw the problems in our City and started making a difference

(Eg) He helps youth get into University through his homework club, connects with homeless youth empowers and shows them better choices, helps people in Poverty, Raises money and awareness for HIV/AIDS, gives youth a forum to use their voices through his youth ran programs, so many things, He started CURE Canada etc. www.curecanada.org

**I was just talking to Leo about a new project he is working on. During our conversation I noticed he sounded sick. He told me that he was due to stress.

Last year he found out that his family was alive in Liberia and has only been able to contact them through phone.

He just got news a few days ago that his Dad was involved in a serious accident and had to be flown out to another area for emergency surgery where he was placed in an induced coma.

He is just coming out of it now and Doctors will inform Leo of his condition soon. His Dad is going to need long term rehabilitation. Leo is the only person who can help his family financially and needs help to pay for the Hospital costs, recovery etc.

I would like to help Leo through some fundraisers to take some of the burden off this young man who is doing so much for our City, even through this stressful time,
Let's STEP UP and show him we appreciate him and help when HE NEEDS US.

Can you help me to make this happen?
Please contact me asap and let me know what we can do
