We are writing this email to invite you for a fund raiser for Mr. Carne Mururi Mwangi, a fellow Kenyan who has been in jail here in Denver and awaiting trial for over 2 years. We came to know about Mr. Mwangi around the month of May, 2014 when his family back in Kenya reported him missing after several months of no communication. Mr. Mwangi lived in Denver from 2007 till the time of his arrest.
We have tried to help Mr. Mwangi by contacting the Kenyan Embassy and trying to get a pro bono lawyer, but all this has not worked in his favor. A few Kenyans have gone to visit Mr. Mwangi at Down Town Detention Center and also attended some court mentions/hearings. He had a bond of $50,000.00 which has been reduced to $2,000.00. We are appealing for your generosity, compassion, and kindness to help a fellow Kenyan get out of jail while he awaits his trial.
When we find ourselves being confronted by a request to help a fellow Kenyan who has no interactions with other Kenyans, often we find ourselves asking ” why”. It’s ok to feel this way. Sometime we fall into situations where we can not get ourselves out of, all we need at that time is a willing hand to hold you and say “ I will walk with you out of the situation you are in”. Mr. Mwangi need the hand of the community, the Kenyan Community here in Colorado.
Let us sympathize/empathize for Mr. Mwangi’s parents back in Nakuru who have been living with the agony of not knowing the condition or the destiny of their son. Let us come together to help Mr. Mwangi get out of jail and more so for the peace of mind of his parents thousands of miles away.
The committee is targeting to raise $3000.00 to be able to take care of the bond and other expenses.
