This is not spam. I wasn't hacked. I'm really asking for your help.

Hi Friends,
I'm writing to you from SF to ask you to help me raise $400 by 8pm PST TODAY, to help Paris James, a 19-year-old African American girl from Alabama, who is stranded in San Francisco, buy a greyhound ticket and food, and make her way back home.
Paris James has been stranded here in SF for about 1 week with less than $50 to her name and no family or friends to assist her.
When I met her this morning at a station near my hotel she was considering suicide. After we talked for about an hour about her situation and my willingness to help her, she expressed that for the first time in her life she felt hope.
Paris is a beautiful, humble, and intelligent young woman with a passion for health and wellness whose family and community narrative has been one of suffering, poverty, lack of opportunity, and injustice.
Please help me give this 19 year old sister more than hope; help me give her the gift of charity, of unconditional support, and of true community. I believe that we will raise the $400 needed to send her home and I thank you in advance for contributing to my efforts to potentially change a young woman's life.
If you can donate anything... $5, $20, $80, $200, $400... you name it, call me immediately at (510) 224-3449.
In exchange for my help Paris has agreed to stay in touch and allow me to mentor her as she applies for college (the first generation in her family to do so), and attend my 10-day young women's leadership training this summer.
WE HAVE THE POWER TO CREATE CHANGE, THE CHALLENGE IS ACTUALLY DOING IT.
DONATE NOW >>>>>>>> Call 510-224-3449.

hey barbara,
don't know the status of this but often, in many cities, you can go to homeless shelters and/or domestic violence services and they have voucher programs where the state will pay for a bus ticket for a person to get to a place where they feel safe and can be inside and taken care of. let me know if you want any help researching this route and i'll see what i can find.
thanks for your looking out,
