queenafric: I never at any point made it look like TeHN didn't want to help. I only stated that I didn't get a reply to my last three emails. No insult intended, but the only reply I got after I sent my contact details to d group's email was ur last post on dis thread b4 this. I also didn't get a reply when I sent another email this morning asking if all was well. I understand that d child's situation is not life threatening but at d same time, I think it is common courtesy for d group to have replied to my emails explaining the situation of things to me. Moreso, on Monday, u guys already told ur representative to hold on about making that trip wit me, but I told her we can still make d trip since I was already on my way to see her that same Monday.
Now to move ahead with this case, I will be making another trip soon, inorder to conclude the enquiries concerning d available homes and their fees. I apologise if my earlier post was misunderstood or caused any harm to TeHN's reputation. That wasn't my intention. Hope we can now move forward in unity for the purpose of achieving a success story soon. Meanwhile, expect pictures from our last trip soon
Thank u.

My only pickin, come here and give momma a hug dearie, maybe I don't say it enough, but I love you and no one can ever take your place, not even a million stray agy cats

queenafric: @Mutter,thanks for ur interest in this child. I actually wanted to suggest about ways in which we all can help this child. I will suggest that 4 other willing nairalanders including myself, making 5 in all, should come together to form a caretaker team for funds to be raised on behalf of dis little girl. Despite showing some interest at some point, I am yet to get a reply to my last 3 emails from the Nairaland charity. Right now, myself and someone else is making effort to get a good home for d child. The grandma can visit whenever she want. The funds will be used to maintain d child in d home cos they receive payment per term. As for d child's mother, I was made to understand dat she hasn't bothered about her since she was 8months old. Also, I am working towards getting the consent of a good authority. Hopefully, everything will go fine as planned. Meanwhile, I am appealing to anyone who is honest and is willing to work with me in ways to raise some funds thru this medium for dis poor little girl. Pls whatever anyone decides to do, know u are doing it for God and d lord will bless u all continuously as u try to help. Thank u all.

queenafric: @ shopclue, bless ur heart. Actually, most things that a child her age lacked will be needed and whatever clothes, toys etc that would be donated will surely be received with a big thanks and delivered to the recipient wit photos to back it up. As for the private tutor, I don't know any that specialise in teaching children wit special needs but I can make some enquiries about that.
Pls do tell ur lady friend that I can make do with her assistance, as well as ur other friend that work with Unicef. Thank u in advance and have a lovely week ahead.

queenafric: @mutter, been trying to send u a pm. Dunno why there's a preset message there already, so can't type in my own messages. For now, the only school/ orphanage that is available and willing to take on the child is expensive. So, that's been ruled out. Can I chat with u privately?
