Odecious Johns

Do you remember Odecious Johns? He was one of the Africa Mercy's loyal Liberian drivers, and worked for the ship for two years. All that time he saved up his money to buy and fix up an old taxi, which he got running a few months before we left Liberia. Last week a truck lost control and destroyed 6 cars including his, and killed several people in the process. It was only by the grace of God that Odecious and his passengers escaped the taxi before the truck hit them.

The truck driver is responsible for the funeral costs of the people he killed, and to pay to replace the 6 cars he destroyed, but he has no money, so there goes Odecious' livelihood and the security of his extended family. So Odecious intends to buy another car frame and an engine, and transfer everything he can from the wreck to make a new taxi, but even this will cost plenty of money. Can you help him? You can send money via MoneyGram or Western Union to any Monrovia branch for Odecious Johns, and then email him at odejohns@yahoo.com with the password so he can collect the money. He is a good man, and continues to do good work in Monrovia looking after some of the patients we left behind. Thanks. Olly

This truck accident is unfortunate as it resulted in the loss of precious lives.

A safe and reliable truck driver transport service is of utmost importance.
