“Having lost my mother at the age of 13, and father 2014 and
most recently my aunt, to the cold hands of diabetes, I can only but relate to
the pains patients and family of patients go through, throughout the duration
of this deadly disease. It saddens my heart that our society does little or
nothing for this cause, and we, as individuals take it for granted,” she said,
while launching the foundation.
“A few people close to me know how passionate I am about
helping, and I feel strongly that diabetes care is a cause very much worth
supporting, therefore I have founded Daughter’s ’s Love Foundation
(DFL) to help alleviate human suffering related to diabetes, and it’s
complications among those least able to withstand the burden of the disease.
“DLF aims to create programs and projects that will be of
assistance to diabetic patients, as well as widows/widowers in other to promote
physical and emotional well being in community / rural developments through
financial assistance, provision of healthcare assistance, entrepreneurship for
the down trodden, conducting outings for awareness and to educate the
underprivileged on the implications of the disease,” she added. Vanguard
