Impact Testimonials:
Friday Iyawere Story: Let us share the experience of a disable man in Nigeria with you. "This man is an Electrician who got electrocuted on the job and has been disabled from the waist-down since 1980. The government did not provide him a wheelchair to move around and his family were so poor to afford one. For this man to get out of his room to see the day-light, he would have to be carried by four strong men. Just imagine, this man lost his freedom and mobility for 26 years until we heard about his situation through an e-mail message. Today this man, named Friday is free to move around due to the free wheelchair donated to him in October 2006 by Communitywide Charities.
Beatrice Olatunji Story: Beatrice was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 18 and has just graduated from high school. She enrolled in College to study French but was unable to stay in college due to continuous occurrence of her epilepsy. Her poor parents took her to many local hospitals and herbalists for healing for 5 years without any success. Finally, Communitywide Charities was informed of her situation and we told her to go to an American Hospital in Nigeria for treatment. She was taken to The Baptist Hospital, Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria and was given epilepsy medicines that stop the frequent occurrence of her epilepsy. Since then, Communitywide has been paying for the cost of her medical and drugs expenses every three months that she has to visit the hospital to refill her medicine. Beatrice has just graduated from College with a degree in French and looks forward to living a more fulfilling life due to our assistance.
