Fellow Ugandans, It is with great sorrow to inform you that yesterday, a little boy from Uganda died at Massachusetts General Hospital. Peter Oyuga was only three and half years old.
With the help of an American lady by the name of Fay DeAvignon, Peter arrived in Boston last Thursday for a scheduled eye/tumor operation. Please see both the attached write-up and picture that Fay has put together.

Fay has done a lot for this little boy and now I think it is time for us Ugandans to rise up and help raise the $5,000 needed to return the boy to his homeland. Already, there is a carpenter in Boston who has volunteered to work on the outer-box (crate) which will house the casket.
The breakdown of the expenses is as follows:
1) Airfare for Peter - $2,000.
2) Casket - $1,050.
3) Funeral Home Fees - $1,000.
4) Other (includes pick up at EBB Airport, etc) - $950.
All checks should be made out to: Angels of Hope, Inc
