My Travel Story

Help Stephen Honor His Foster Mother’s Memory in the UK

My name is Stephen Otieno Amonde from Kenya. Over 50 years ago, I was fostered and lovingly raised by Christina McConnell — a remarkable woman from the UK who gave me education, love, and a new life.

Since her passing in 2018, I’ve longed to visit her grave to say thank you and find closure. After battling prostate cancer and facing financial struggles, I’m now seeking to raise USD 5,000 to cover my travel, accommodation, insurance, and basic upkeep for a one-month visit to the UK.

Your donation — no matter how small — will help me take this meaningful journey of gratitude and healing.
Please support or share if you can.
