HELP LUCY GET A SEWING MACHINE: AN AMPUTEE WITH A DIFFERENCE.

in #upfundme6 years ago

In the words of Peter Marshall a former U.S Senate chaplain: “THE MEASURE OF LIFE IS NOT ITS DURATION BUT ITS DONATION”. He was not known for living so long on earth, but for the immeasurable impact he made in his life time touching the lives of others. He was only 46years when he died.

Fellow steemians, if for any reason at all, I am sure you will agree with me that the steemit blockchain has been of tremendous help to each and every one of us. Lets touch a life, lets make an impact in the life of LUCY

SHE NEEDS A SEWING MACHINE
I therefore present to us an opportunity to make a lasting impact in the life of LUCY who happens to be an Amputee. This post aims at getting her an electric sewing machine to further encourage her quest to be an outstanding fashion designer. You are surprised I guess? Yes she is into cloth making and she is getting better at it continually. That is what determination can do. You push through all the odds and make a loud statement with your outcome.
#18,000 NAIRA is needed – 33SBD OR 24STEEM in current Price.
(all payout on this post and previous post [here] goes into purchasing the machine and the rest of the money given to her to get whatever she may need to set up her fashion space with ease) make lucy the memo for donations sent for this cause.

She came to Ibadan Nigeria to serve her country (Youth Service Corps) and she bumped into my wife’s Fashion Outlet in November, 2017 that she was interested in learning how to make dresses.
Without hesitation my wife said why not and they started training. It was difficult for her at first, and she almost gave up but with much motivation from my wife she pushed through the odds and defeated her fears and now she can make beautiful dresses.

She will soon conclude her Service Period in Ibadan, Nigeria and will soon return to her base Benue state, Nigeria. She is the first born in her family and therefore has siblings to cater for. I therefore seek for your support to make this happen for her. She is not aware of this, but will sure get to know and I will also introduce her to the steemit platform where value is given for value, where she will meet great people, where she can further enhance and make excellent use of the opportunities that lies here.

She made this skirt and top too
How it happened.
She had a fall while she was playing in SS1 as a boarding student in the secondary school. Instead of the school authorities to take her to the hospital for proper care and attention, they decided to use a local Doctor who tied the broken Arm. By the second day, it got worse as blood stopped flowing from her Elbow down. In fact, her parents were only contacted after the situation got worse. By the time they later got to the hospital, the Doctors said, they could only salvage her elbow to her shoulder that the other part was gone and would be amputated. This is how Lucy became an amputee.

I know that integrity is the bedrock of the steemit blockchain, hence once this funds is realized and the sewing machine purchased, i will make a feedback post showing evidences of all that will be done with the payout and donations.
