Q1 Donations – Please spare a change for the needy this pay day..

Dear Friends,

We are on the match again in 2008 and are ready to begin various ‘healing’ missions on your behalf. We want to start by repairing the roofs at Wesley and Wright primary Schools in Somolu, Lagos (estimated cost is N1.3 million), and we cannot fund this without your generosity, please help us put a roof over the heads of these wonderful kids before the rains start in a few weeks. As usual, please choose the most convenient means of sending your donations by visiting our website: http://www.unitedforkidsfoundation.org/support.htm as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, 2008 has started on a beautiful note as we have been able to reach out to kids at the Children’s transit home through supply of monthly cooking fuel, installation of playground equipment (funded by our generous donor, Bimpe O) and the purchase of much needed text books. We also delivered beautiful clothes donated by “keep the orphans nice and warm” foundation of Ireland to the kids at Hearts of Gold. In addition to these activities, we successfully conducted our first visit to the Ikeja General Hospital (IGH) on Saturday, January 19 2008 thanks to the following people who took time out of their busy schedules to make it happen: Mummy Adebiyi, Mr. Olukoya, Mummy Ositade, Ibraheem, Khadijah, Ngozi, Nini, Shola Afolabi, Toritse Orubu, Omobola Ositade, Murphy Pelumi-Balogun and Folasade. Thanks and may God bless you for your time and donations.

The following patients were selected for the UKF Prescription Assistance Program (PAP) during the IGH visit: Babies Kareem, Michael and Ayube, 3 female patients who were born prematurely and required Cefolexine, Genticin, Ferbelan, Pre Nan and Abidec drops. We also sponsored Ibrahim Ajarat, 6 year old female patient diagnosed with Septicemia and required Chloramphenicol and Erythromycin Tab. The details of these patients were taken to Juli pharmacy for them to pick up their medications later in the day. Our next visit to IGH will be on February 16th, 2008. Please make plans to join us at 9am that day.


Thanks and God bless!
