Oyinkansola wrote:
"While at church. I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't imagine my mum roasting plantain in the rain. I kept pondering about it till I posted it on Facebook. A friend from the US reached out to donate to her. 48 hours after I drove back to her to hand her about 250k."
She said the woman burst into tears and said she had been praying that God should send her a helper.
