Thanks ever so much for your support

Hello TeHN and Nairalanders. Thanks so much for your contributions and support so far. I should have been coming around to post here but I've been quite busy on and offline. I went to check on Mrs Akinlana last Sunday. They were barely coping but struggling to get by. She told me she went to see the landlady the previous day to beg for a little more time but met her absence. Shortly after I left she called me back that there's a new development, I had to rush back to find out. Her landlady came around and told her to pay up the outstanding on her room only and move out by December . According to landlady, the reason for the eviction is not because of rent but because her husband has been spreading vicious stories about her around and she's not comfortable when she heard. He claimed she was sleeping around with different men including a co-tenant who happens to be an in-law of the landlady. The poor woman was ready to swear on her life that she never did anything of such but she was held back. The landlady said she knew he was lying but the rumours have gone so far and quite a number of people believed him. She doesn't want drama and scandals in her house. she said would have evicted both her and the man she was accused of cheating with if the man in question wasn't her in-law. Ever since that Sunday, she has been unable to sleep, I couldn't sleep well myself first day I heard. This is the worst of times to relocate and start afresh in a new location. I told her to go and beg the landlady, the caretaker said they will find time to go and appeal.

Dear Nairalanders, Please put her in your prayers and assist in any little way you can. No amount is too little, it will go a long way in easing the sufferings of a poor woman and her innocent children. In case you want to donate, please do so via the channels below.

The project is still on o, my tight schedule both on and offline hasn't availed me to visit this thread or check up on her. She keeps calling and begging me that hope I've not forgotten her o

All thanks to TeHN and nairalanders for their contributions and support so far. I mentioned on my previous post that she was told to vacate her one room apartment this December. Fortunately, she and some elderly people were able to beg the landlady and the eviction has been reversed. Recently, TeHN field officer came around to settle the rent as well as the school fees. I believe the TeHN handle will post the receipts soon. Thank God, that's out of the way now. Still she's burdened with feeding four children including herself, paying bills and other expenses. The proceeds from her container kiosk is barely sustaining them, she's unable to save and reinvest like she used to. After settling her rent, the landlady told her that the subsequent rent will be N3000 per month for the room, that's N36,000 for a year. Might be chicken change for some but for a petty trader with a bulk of responsibilities and limited inflow of cash, that's a lot. We're hoping and praying she gets enough capital to reboot her business so she can have enough saved up before the rent expires. I know the economy is biting hard on most Nigerians, but if you can assist with whichever little way you can, God will bless and reward you.

I was at her place today, she told me how she almost suffered a heart attack when she woke up in the middle of the night thinking about her children's future. I've been telling her not to worry so much but she told me that it's hard not to. She normally wakes up around 2-3am to observe night prayers but this time around, she woke at midnight and couldn't move and her heart was beating very rapidly. I had to beg her to take it easy on herself, she's all the children has now. I'm also appealing to Nairalanders to come to her aid, even if you feel she somewhat deserves what she's facing and she doesn't deserve to be assisted, think about four innocent children with an uncertain future. No amount is too little, your little token will go a long way in putting a smile of four youngsters and their mother.

male or female? Ask her if she can allow her child to live with someone, if she says yes, I will personally visit her by December to see what I can do.

Male, the others are female. I'm not sure if she will want to seperate her children, besides the gel is very helpful and relieves her of stress to an extent. Still, I'll ask her run it through her. Thanks

Sorry about the delay in confirming the payment.

Thanks ever so much

I saw her after Juma'at service today and she was telling me how the struggling has increased lately due to lack of sales. Due to the weather condition, her children keep coming up with one ailment or the other from fever to flu to whopping cough. The youngest has a stubborn skin infection that keeps resurfacing. She has been treating them all inspite of the lack of funds, now her savings has almost reached ground zero. She told me that apart from God and my online friends (that's us Nairalanders), she has no one else to rely on. At this point, she's almost losing hope on how to continue to cater for the children and maintain her business. Please Nairalanders, find it somewhere in your heart to assist this struggling family out of their current situation. May God bless and replenish your pockets.

Thanks so much ma, you're blessed.

It just breaks my heart to read about this dear lady's situation. These occurrences of severe financial difficulty are not uncommon in Nigeria and many parts of the world, and so lots of folks have become accustomed to, and sometimes immune to the heart rendering effects that they have on our persons. Having said this, I declare that the time to beg for food and rainment is over!

Mrs Akinlana; "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are Ye not much better than they?" God knows your needs before you ask! I have a couple simple requests of you. First, I want you (or your representative) to respond here (or send me a private message if you prefer) and ask for an amount that will help you re-establish your business in a manner that will comfortably support your family. I read in previous posts that you payed your house rent, fed your kids and sent them to private school from the proceeds of this business. Tell me what it would take to rekindle this venture. Do not be timid, ask with confidence. Your financial need does not make you any less of a person than anyone else. It does not please God to see his beloved beg for what he has already freely given!

Second, I recognize that folks who have advised you to transfer your kids to public school, or send one of them to live with someone else, only mean well, and like me, are seeking a permanent solution to your situation. However, I believe this is not the time to do this. I believe your family needs to stay together and support each other emotionally, especially since your husband is currently not in the picture. Your kids need your presence daily and the best education they can get to set them up for success. If you respond to my first request, you have a good shot at accomplishing this.

Finally, to put some context around my " crashing" this thread with my discombobulated thoughts; do not forget that this is an Internet forum visible to any interested party around the world. This is my first post on Nairaland. I joined with the express purpose of responding to this thread that is buried 2 or 3 pages into an obscure sub forum. Isn't it amazing how mountains are removed when God starts to move? There may be more interested parties that will start to move on your behalf once you get things going. Have no fear, God is with you.

Thanks ever so much for your thoughtful post. We can only pray that the lord will reward you in multiple folds for the help you are about to render to this struggling family.

The honest truth is, it's kind of hard to predict a figure that will help alleviate them from their dire situation and subsequently propel them to sustainable future.

However, we do know the kid's school fees is around 70k or there about and she might need a profit margin of at least 20-30k per month to comfortably realise that amount of money. A business injected with a figure between 200k-300k might give her the 10% required profit margin so i implore that you use that as a base for your anticipated favourable decision.

Just to add, she has around 30k or thereabout left with us from money donated thus far so the plan is to use this alongside further money donated to help boost her business. We also don't just hand money to them so be rest assured your donation will be used for the intended purposes only

May God bless and reward you abundantly for kind words. No one (at least very few people) in life wants to resort to begging to fend for themselves and provide their daily needs. However, when we find ourselves in certain situations where our future and of our loved ones are not certain, we take drastic measures to alleviate ourselves of that situation. May we never encounter obstacles that are more than our capacity to handle.

The lady in question is one that I've known for years though not very well. We only exchanged greetings from time to time, even as at than i knwe she was extremely hardworking, prudent and a very hands-on mum. Earlier this year, I observed her wares are quite few unlike before. It took her over a month since her setback began before she eventually opened up to me how her husband ran off and how they've been living. Between God and man, she never expected me to organize any form of fund raising of any sort on her behalf. She opened up to so i can hire her to do my laundry and put her in mind in case i need a caterer. I looked within myself to think of anyway I can be of help, and I approached TeHN to see if there was anyway they could assist.

Regarding switching her children to public schools, she has considered it herself but she can't meet up with the requirements to enrol her children in one. To bypass this requires heavy greasing of palms which she can't afford. The school her children her enrolld may be a bit expensive but the owners are very understanding towards her plight and have agreed that she can pay the fees in instalment and also promised her that the children wouldn't be sent home at any point in time.

Thanks to TeHN and Nairalanders, the fees this term and the rents have been settled from the money realised so far. However, what is left can only go so far in reviving her business. Before her setback, her business was worth no less than half a million naira (my estimation). Now, I doubt if it is up to N30,000 and that's what she and the children feed from. Due to poor sales, she's unable to put money away like before. Everything she makes goes into feeding and the children's welfare. If you can find a way to assist this poor lady revive her business and give her children better quality of life, God in his infinite mercies will send goodwill and favour your way. Once again thanks for your care and concern.

Thanks to Jaybee3 and Dominue for your prompt responses and kind words. Also, many thanks to those who have contributed financially and offered advice. It is my intent to be personally invested in arresting this situation and therefore imperative that I get things going immediately. But please excuse my naivety, how do I get funds trasnferred to your NGN account? I attempted a Western Union transfer to the First Bank account listed in an earlier posting but was advised that transfers to a charity account will be rejected. It appears that a transfer will need to be made to an individual's account with a first and last name? Do either of you have any experience doing this? If a transfer is effected to a NGN bank account, does an individual need to show up to receive it? I am looking for a quick and easy way to do this. Please advice.

Strategizing for the immediate future, it appears the business needs some time to grow to a steady state before any significant amount of dividends are withdrawn. Profits will need to be re-invested for sometime and therefore she needs some other form of support in the interim. But something Dominque said caught my atention. "Due to poor sales, she's unable to put money away like before". Is the business no longer viable? Why are sales proceeds low? Should the money be set aside for something else she can do if this is the case? I have no knowledege of the market situation so will leave this to your best judgement.

Couple of other questions. When are the next payments for rent and school due? But please focus on adressing my transfer logistics question first. All others can be attended to later.
Thanks

I'm hoping these intial amounts will begin to get her business back on track. Please use your best judgement (as you usually do ) in disbursing the funds, as sometimes, too much too soon can also be a problem. In order not to unduly burden the business too early and allow for re-invstment, please let her know that I will support (through TeHN), the payment of rent and school fees when they are due. Information on the due dates will be much appreciated. It would also be helpful to me, as I spread the word in my little area of influence, if you post progress reports on how the family is doing, to encourage others to help out and showcase what TeHN is doing. There are currently some silent interested folks watching.
