Sara is Not Sick!
Dear Friends,
Some of you may have received an email this morning claiming that Sara Sebyala, founder and director of TOUCH children's ministry in Kampala, Uganda, had fallen ill and was in dire need of surgery. The email asks for donations to cover the cost of the operation.
At first glance, the message appears to be from Sara's husband Steven. However, the message is not from Steven Sebyala, and Sara is not sick.
ALL CLAIMS IN THE MESSAGE ARE FALSE.
Someone has sent out the message in an attempt to fraudulently collect funds for their own purposes. We are working with Steven and Sara to find out who has sent the message so that we can take appropriate action.
My guess is that very few of you actually received the message. It appears to have been directed to individuals that are known to work with Steven and Sara. We are sending this warning as a precaution to all partners from Friends of TOUCH and Africa Harvest Mission.
If you did receive the message, please forward it to us - in doing so, you will be providing us with evidence we need to track down the responsible party.
I am sorry for any inconvenience or worry that the message may have caused.
Blessings,
Kay Helm
Executive Director
