Yonas Alehegne funeral expense
Donation protected
Yonas Alehegne , an Ethiopian Immigrant was shot multiple times and killed by Oakland Police Officer on Thursday August 08, 2015 outside of 383 MacArthur Blvd (corner of Van Buren) in Oakland,California. He was mentally ill and homeless and known to neighbors as a humble and kind young man. Yonas had stayed in the laundry room and struggled with mental health issues for years. While Yonas was struggling on the ground, a licensed Nurse begged the police officers to let her help him. But the police officers wouldn't allow her. It took more than 20 minutes before Emeregency Response arrived on the scene and applied CPR on him.
Yonas, was a lonely immigrant who had no one to helped him and even to claim his body and buried him in respect and dignity. It's so sad that he is still not buried. As a result, my friends and i are working to send his body to Ethiopia. Therefore, would you be so kind and donate whatever you can to help send his body and support his helpless family.
May God bless you!
