Crippled mother of four, Patience Ogbeide prepares to launch her album on
24th September, 2011 at the St. Leo Catholic Church, Toyin Street,
Ikeja, Lagos, and will also be performing on stage on the day. She begs for your
attendance on the day as money raised on the day of the launch would be used to
buy prosthesis worth N10 million, this would enable her walk
again.
The Sapele born mother lost both her legs in an accident in
2007 while selling newspapers, she said
“I know I can work again and I am sure the prosthesis will help to
get my life together. I am appealing to kind-hearted Nigerians and the governor
of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan and Governor Babatunde Raji
Fashola to attend the launch and assist me … Despite my status, I still
cook, fry chin-chin; I prepare bottled groundnut and I give my children to sell
for me. I am advising and encouraging others like me not to be idle but to do
something to help themselves … I explained a lot about myself in the album;
how my mother left me while I was a baby and I had to be raised by my
step-mother; how I grew up in a family where my father had seven wives and 25
children and how I met my God-sent husband.”
The album titled
“THANK YOU” is dedicated to all those who have supported her till date,
including her friends, media houses, medical centres and religious groups, so
share this post.
Awww this is so touching…pls friends do something for this lady…try and encourage her.
