Why Donate to the 1,000 Miles Fund? Imagine:  Walking 1,000 miles across a war-torn country, without your Mom, at the age of 6. Imagine:  Arriving at a refugee camp in Ethiopia only to be driven out 2 years later by civil war and being forced to walk again, this time to Kenya. Imagine:  Getting shot in the leg and watching 6 friends die, on the same day, at the age of 11. Imagine:  Years of longing to see your Mom and then learning that she and 3 of your brothers were killed when your village was attacked. Imagine:  After 19 years of wondering, learning that 3 of your brothers, and the cousin    who protected you on that 1,000 mile walk, are still alive in Sudan. Imagine: How desperately your heart would ache to see them once again. Imagine: You had the power to give the person who had been through all of this the gift of such a reunion. Will you help David return home to see his family for the first time in 20 years? It is a rare opportunity when a donation does so much to directly change the life of one very special person in such a significant way. When you donate to the 1,000 Miles Fund 100% of your donation will go to funding David's trip back to his village in Southern Sudan and will allow him bring desparately needed  medical and school supplies. (All donations go directly to David to fund his trip back to Sudan. If you donate by cash or check 100% goes to David. If you donate online with a credit card the processing service keeps a 6% processing fee so 94% goes to David.)
