Renewed Hope for Hannah and Her Family

Hannah and her family on Easter Break
Hannah and her family on Easter Break

Hannah is the youngest of four children to her parents and the only girl. When we she was five, just two years ago, something terrible happened. She lost her mother to a motor accident, and her dad, who is a physically challenged man, was left to care for her and her three brothers. Before her passing, Hannah's mom was the family's breadwinner, even though her dad is also educated, he wasn't able to secure a job. But with his wife's passing, he took over running her shop.

Hannah's dad made an appeal to us in January 2025, letting us know of his challenges and desire to provide for his children and send them to school. With the economic crisis in the country, there hasn't been sufficient profit to buy more provisions to sell in the shop, and to make matters worse, the rent for his home and the shop were overdue. Their landlord had been patient with them, but they now owed months of rent with no view of making a living, and Hannah and her brother Gabriel were at home because he couldn't pay their school fees. He had only paid part for Daniel and David, and the school was being gracious by letting them attend.

After visiting the family at home and carrying out a thorough assessment, we verified that they were genuine and in February, we raised an appeal for them. We were amazed when a sponsor who had been considering sponsoring children with us responded to our appeal and said that she would sponsor all four children!!! We informed Hannah and her family, and they were overjoyed.

We also raised enough to settle their house and shop rents in February, which was a major relief to Hannah's dad, Mr Emmanuel. However, he also appealed for support with his business. He fills cooking gas for people in his community at the shop, where he also sells bread, soft drinks, pure water, and other beverages and provisions. With more campaigning, we raised enough to send Mr Emmanuel N500k to invest into his business in March.

Emmanuel was so happy, he did a video, which we shared on our Instagram page. He had almost lost hope, but with the support from well-meaning donors like you, Emmanuel, Hannah, and her brothers have renewed hope that they can live happilly in their home and achieve their potentials. Thank you for your generosity that keeps us doing what we do for those in need. We hope to share more testimonies with you in the coming months. God bless you.
