Indeed. Moneygram may also be good but who are we going to send it to?
Should it be sent to her daughter? Since some of it would be kept
as part of a scholarship fund for her daughter, if we get a good response,
that seems to be a great option.
But as Kolapo points out, we need some details.
La Vonda, you must let us know.

Subject: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - La Vonda's funeral fee: $6,000
How does one get the money over to La Vonda. What about Western Union money transfer ... it works fast,too. But people need payee information that will get the money to her. Please post this information.
I am simply bereft of words and the anguished helplessness I feel in this situation is only mediated by the wonderful fact of La Vonda's strength and her refusal to be a victim in the hands of this disease and in the hand of death that will claim all of us. I feel and pray for divine presence with her at this moment.
I continue to pray for La Vonda and her family and ask that those who could continue to do so. I am praying to God for some miracle... some lightning, electric shock ... something... divinely administered to shake up everything in her body, open blocked ducts, kill errant cells, reconstitute her blood and renew and prolong her life... something that will deliver a miracle, something... amen.

Fellow Members:
The total expenses for La Vonda's funeral, minus reception, is $6,000. If you can donate do please send it right away so that she can make the payment. I know that this is the Christmas season, to be followed by school fees and tuitions. If you speak with family members, I am sure they will forgo the annual gifts for this year to help her.
I apologize for this intervention but it has become necessary to do so. If 12 of us can donate $500 each, we will reach the goal. I will send her a check for $500 in the next 24 hours.
Do please treat this appeal as urgent.
