FRIENDS OF SPECIAL CHILDREN FOUNDATION mourns Believe Ogedengbe
Believe Ogedengbe one of the children registered with the foundation who needed surgery that cost five million naira had finally passed on, he was paralyzed from his waist down, always in diapers because he is unable to control his bowel movements, the foundation was able to provide him with a wheelchair and had been trying to raise money for his surgery by going to media houses in other to reach out to good Nigerians until his death, the news of his death came as a rude shock to every member of the foundation.
FSCF has been in the fore front in the campaign for the Disability bill to be domesticated in the state,because life had not been easy for PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY(PWD), especially at this crucial season of covid-19, majority of PWD are not finding things easy mostly the poor parents of children with disabilities.
We at FSCF call on the Government of Edo State to expedite the quick passage of the bill to law.
We also call on the first Lady of Edo State to remember the special needs children both in public/private institutions and NGOs responsible for this children in the distribution of covid-19 relief items,
We extend our gratitude to few of our friends and partners who have been sacrificing to see the foundation moving on at this critical times of world pandemic,am quite sure we would have folded up if not for their support, we pray that God continue to bless and protect them.
