Bionical, a superhero tail

Just because I'm BIONICAL, a superhero doesn't mean that every good deed I do has to involve putting bad crazy gangsters behind bars.

A few weeks ago I received an email from a man named Rahid Safir. Rahid lives in Africa and seen the historical past of his country, he's been through hell. His father was the CEO of a diamond mine in Sierra-Leone, but was killed over a year ago. Then Rahid's wife was murdered, along with his two children, Liana, age 7 and Botowa, age 9. Rahid wants to get out of his country fast, very fast. But first he needs a place to temporarily store the 45 million dollars his father left him as inheritance from the diamond mine.

Because I'm Bionical, a superhero and because I have a reputation for being trustworthy, lots of people reach out to me. But not many stories touch me the way that Rahid's has. He's a good man, a man with character and conviction, a person who has suffered more than his share of bad luck. He and I have been exchanging emails the last few weeks, and I'm very happy to tell you that we've established a friendship that I think will continue to grow once he reaches Belgium. I'm sure it gives him a warm fuzzy feeling to know that he's in communication with a superhero.

I can't do much for Rahid until he gets out of his country, but for now, I've given him my bank account number so he can deposit his money safely in my Belgian bank account. Once he gets to Belgium, he and I will probably become even better friends.

Rahid, if you're reading this, I look forward to meet you in person. The first beer's on me.
