Last month, I had a heartfelt conversation with Mr. Afolarin, owner of a cyber cafe in U.I (University Of Ibadan). He shared with me his journey as a single father raising a set of triplets.

I couldn’t help but record and share to friends, instagram and WhatsApp for them to get help and support. Fast forward to yesterday morning we were able to raise N64500 on WA & IG and trust me i thought this would go into their family’s welfare, his Mum’s firewood/fish business

My only fear now is when he is discharged the rest of the money would be used to clear the remaining bills as of today the deposit only lasted for a day we thought this would cover one or two for their welfare at home but his health was more important

I told the doctor to go ahead and start treating him while I rushed down to see what was wrong, Segun was looking a lot better when I got there, the doctor left to attend to other people in the community.

The donations made previously would be able to admit him and run the necessary tests, his health was more important at that point and as we all know public hospital is not even an option, he couldn’t eat or walk. I took him to Oak hospital owutu Ikorodu

Collectively we decided to foot his bills not because there was so much money but because he deserved to be in school and we could see he had the zeal to go to school, and his fee per term was less than N5,000.
