Campaign Story

Years after I watched my Mom quietly slipped into the other side of life, I grieved deeply and while in my grief, I learnt a lesson. I learnt how to cherish the bonds I share with people I care about. I learnt that family are not just people we share blood relationships with, or are extendedly related to us, but are people we share bonds, bonds that still connects us to each other even from a very far distance.
The recent period of time after my mom’s demise made me knew who were actually walking with me – this includes her family too. It seemed to me that my mom was the only connection I had to her immediate family, to some extent, it’s undoubtedly true. They only cared about the well-being of I and my siblings because their sister was alive or maybe I was being too judgmental. Two of my mom’s siblings actually care about us of which one’s own is unconditional and that’s my Aunt Dora.
This may bore you because it seems like I’m narrating my family’s story to you, but just be patient and read on. I’m only trying to establish a ground, explicit and empathetic; I want you to some extent, walk in my shoes.
My Aunt’s been in pains, she bears a huge burden in my heart and she wouldn’t talk to us about it because she doesn’t want to spoil the happiness of her little ones. She’s had a belly for some years now and when I wasn’t so knowledgeable enough, I thought she was actually pregnant and happily awaited the arrival of my baby cousin. Years past and I didn’t see any baby coming but she still looked pregnant, but I’m grown now and I discovered that she has been living with fibroid all this time. This condition alone made people distance themselves from her.
She will be going for a surgery in about a week time, and the money we managed to raise wouldn’t be enough. I would have love to sponsor the whole expenses without hesitation as her life matter so much. But I’m not financially stable yet but I’ve my pen and words to offer as a support.
We are humans, blessed with beautiful heart. And one of our many purposes is to spread light and reach out to as many as we can while we live. This is another soul to bless and make our creator even more proud of this creatures. Your sincere support is needed.
Than you for your time.
