I am a Minnesota immigrant from Boyo Division, North West Region of Cameroon. I have been working two or more jobs and struggling to raise a family of five. After getting overwhelmed by the numerous financial demands on my inbox from impoverished members of my community back home, I realized the need to partner with others to create a more extensive support base for the poor. The GSF was born out of the inspiration that if my little efforts could provide educational funding, pay hospital bills and provide the basic needs of many, a larger community of good Samaritans would do better. The concept of the Good Samaritan from my perspective and experience focuses on little acts of kindness with the potential to save lives. In a world where no one is self-sufficient, It won't hurt if we spare and direct our little efforts to where they can create the most impact.
We invite you all to partner with us on this life-enriching journey!
