Mrs J Odion has three adult daughters who were born blind. She was told by her relatives when these children were born to throw them away because it was an abomination and indicated bad luck. She kept her children and as a result was treated as an outcast by her relatives. She was left to raise her children as a single mother. Catholic nuns saw the 3 through high school. They are smart so HFIP is looking for sponsor(s) to send them to college. HFIP also started a petty business for her so she could at least feed her children.

Ms. Munachi Ohiaeriaku, a teacher and single mother of two, also cares for her elderly mother and younger sister. Her family faces severe health issues, including asthma, cataracts, and stomach ulcers. Following her father’s death in 2019, she became the sole provider, struggling to support her family on a monthly salary of less than $65. The financial strain forced her to send her 16-year-old daughter to work as a maid. Despite assistance with rent, medical bills, food, and school fees, her family’s needs remain overwhelming. Any financial support would greatly alleviate their burdens and improve their quality of life.

Mrs. Nkechi, a hardworking mother of six, has supported her family through farming and trading alongside her husband. Her recent diagnosis of breast cancer has caused severe emotional and financial strain, disrupting her children’s education and leading two to drop out of school due to treatment costs. With assistance, her eldest son graduated from university, and ongoing support has provided food and medication. However, the family’s needs remain critical. Financial aid would help ensure her children continue their education and provide better medical care for Mrs. Nkechi.

Eucharia Oforji (of Blessed memory) died of cancer. We came in contact with her when her cancer had metastasised and she neither had money to treat herself nor even to eat. By the generous help of a few donors, Eucharia received all the medical help she needed at the time ( about $3000) and she died comfortably/painlessly. We want to use this opportunity to appreciate all those who donated to this cause especially Dr & Dr Chris Aniedobe, who continued to pay for her chemotherapy and blood transfusions even when there was no hope. Her family extends their immense gratitude through this medium also.

Ngozi Esther Okereke is a 64 year old widow and has no child. She has chronic medical conditions and she is a caregiver who earns equivalent of $19.50 monthly. She cannot afford her medications with this amount. The organisation sends her money to assist with her medications. We are looking for a donor(s) who can give her $40 every month so she can stay alive.

Master Favour Ogbonna is a 14 year old boy who wants to become a priest. When he gained admission into the minor seminary, his parents who are low income earners could not afford his tuition and other fees. We paid for his fees to get him started and are currently looking for a sponsor(s) to assist Favour to achieve his life dreams of becoming a catholic priest.
