Our help to Florence

The story of Florence is a fight against Tuberculosis, which we have been of serious help. Florence is a twenty-one year old woman suffering from Tuberculosis since 1997. The infectious disease has almost eaten her up and wasted her youthful life because she has not been able to raise sufficient funds for the treatment. In addition, she gave birth to a baby and the father of the child is unemployed having lost his job and as such cannot bear the financial responsibility of the family. Also Florence who hails from Amofia Agu Affa, Udi Local Government of Enugu State, lives with her aged and widowed mother. Their situation was very pitiable. SHATWON is supplying both mother and child with the neccessary drugs prescibed by the doctor to help Florence live a dignified and meaningful life.
