PresVA:
Hi, can you handle the purchase singlehandedly?
Asides the wheelchair, what about the support for his business?

Let us know so that we can also support. .. cheers. .


Yes Sir I can. The total cost is even way under my anticipated budget for this cause.

Support for his business was the Grinding machine. We sent the OP to ask the man directly how we could be of assistance and he asked for the grinding machine and to aid with mobility for him.

Everyone is invited to support, I just don't know how we will manage contributions. We need a known, trusted and verified Nairalander or TeHN to assist with managing contributions.

UPDATE:: I just Got off the phone with a Mr. Ayuba from the Wheelchair company.

The wheelchair comes in three categories;

Small: NGN 18,000

Medium: NGN 20,000

And

Large: NGN 22,000


I also spoke to him regarding sending it to Abuja for us after purchase and he said it's possible. We will wrap up negotiations and arrangements on Monday.

So basically, the cost of the items we shall be purchasing for that young man will be 22,000 + 15,000 = 37,000.

I say we work towards making the total cost 50'k with the extra money handed over to the guy to purchase some additional working tools he may require.

Iliyande:: Please verify to us again that you know where to purchase the Grinding machine if you have the money to hand.



At everybody else who has shown an interest in this case, next week, we shall start making these contributions and purchases. I am still thinking of how to manage the contributions as I do not want to handle anybody's money. I will finalize with the wheelchair company, pay directly to them and have them ship it to Abuja for Mr. Iliyande to pick up and deliver.

TeHN, your help is now needed o.. Any advice?


Thanks to everybody for their interest in making a real difference in the world. God bless you all.
TeHN will be in d best position to receive the contributions.I hope they accept to.

Do you want to single-handedly purchase the wheelchair?That would be nice so others can make up for the balance.
Re: Update: He Is Crippled But Works As A Cobbler: Very Inspiring (photos) by ANBAKO: 12:11am On Feb 01, 2016
Personally, I will suggest all money goes to Iliyande if possible. He started this and he is also the right person to wrap it up.

What does the house think about this? Time is key here. Between now and next week we should be able to close this out.

I therefore open the floor for Iliyande to share his account details if he accept to take on this.

All we are gunning for here is 50k

please let us come to an amicable conclusion and arrangement for this guy, with the number of people showing interest we may only need little money to get him the wheelchair or/and filing machine. God bless y'all.

I'm in the opinion that a thread should be opened with this effort so far. Just a suggestion.

I don't think we need to go outside this thread. We can handle this between us here.

Someone already committed to giving 20k for this cause. That can handle the grinder easily. Depending on what other support we get, we can decide on the final phase.

I will ask IlyaAnde again..

Mr. Ilya, If you get the money for the Grinder, do you affirm that you can make the purchase within 48hrs?

If yes..


Mr. Allcomage: Please you can proceed to get in touch with Mr. Ilya privately and send him the money to purchase the grinder which I believe he said would cost 15'k.

Mr. Ilya, if and when you go to purchase the Grinder, enquire if an iPassMyNeighbour Generator can power it. If yes, then find out the cost of the generator and lets know. I believe the Wheelchair was the toughest buy as it had to come from Jos, but if we all expedite action on this matter, we can close out by weekend and hand over the items to the Man.

Thanks.


TeHN seems to be preoccupied at the moment and we cant afford to stall on this matter anymore. The wheelchair is on ground, lets tighten the loose ends and close out this matter.

Outside of the Wheelchair, the grinder and the generator, any other money would go towards physical cash to help the man along.

Thanks to all again.

I see there is no action on the filing machine.. sad

How sad.

I will be unavailable for a few weeks but when I return at the end of the month, if there is still no action on that, we would have to go to plan B.

Iliyande, please send a PM to Allcomage and brief me on the feedback please. Thanks.
