I have visited different places like Government Secondary School, Kubwa where I donated essential items such as toiletries, sanitary pads, and soaps to. 300 students.
“I also paid the medical bills of 49 patients at Kubwa General Hospital as they were unable to afford their treatment. This in a way has removed their burden of financial stress. Also I visited Suleja Prison and paid the fines of over 40 inmates who could not afford to pay their bail money. These generous acts and more are what Nigerians who God has blessed as this gestures have enabled these individuals to regain their freedom and start anew. God will always bless the heart that supports the vulnerable and the challenged,” she said.

It has relieved me of the burden of sourcing where to raise funds.”
