Greetings Everyone.

As many of you know, our family is one of Nigerian/Liberian decent. Indeed, our mom as well as Uzoma and Iheoma were born in Liberia.  We all remember Liberia as a place where we went to visit my Grandfather in the early 70s.  It was a beautiful country filled with beautiful people that we all remember.

Unfortunately, Liberia was devastated by 14 years of civil war from the 1989 to 2003.

A few years ago, we had the opportunity to travel back to Liberia to meet our parents and were happy about the turn around that had taken place after the civil war. 

We still have close friends and cousins who live in Liberia and we are hoping to go back there with our families to visit them.

However, as you are also aware; Liberia, Sierre Leone and Guinea are in the midst of an unprecedented Ebola outbreak that has killed more than 2800 people this year.

We have been inspired to contribute to Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) and would appreciate if all of ourTwitter, Facebook and Instagram followers would join me in assisting the Doctors who are on the front lines of this crisis.

We are appealing to my friends from the Howard University College of Liberal Arts, Medicine and School of Law, Oakwood University, Fashion Institute of Technology, Lenox Hill Hospital, Harlem Hospital Center, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, co-workers, colleagues and neighbors.

We are hoping to raise $25,000 dollars by the end of this year.

Proceeds are tax deductible and will benefit "Doctors Without Borders" efforts to fight the Ebola throughout Africa.

Thank you for you time and attention.

Chukwuma, Uzoma and Iheoma Onyeije
