I have been helped by GAMAID Foundation on multiple occasions, most notably between January and March 2025, when my family faced severe financial constraints and I often went days eating only once, subsisting on minimal portions. Desperate for basic necessities, I reached out and GAMAID immediately began providing me with delicious, nourishing meals—week after week—so that I could finally eat to my fill without worrying about the cost. At the same time, I lacked decent clothing and felt embarrassed attending classes in shabby outfits; once more, GAMAID came through, gifting me beautiful gowns, jeans, trousers, and shirts and tops that saved me the expense and restored my dignity. Beyond meeting my immediate needs, their mentors taught me vital lessons in financial prudence: how to request an allowance that fully covers my needs, how to budget each naira wisely, set spending priorities, and exercise self-control. As I applied these principles, my situation transformed—while I may not be wealthy today, I no longer face the desperate shortages I once endured and I can meet my basic needs consistently. GAMAID has helped me far beyond what I ever imagined, and I remain forever grateful to God for leading me to this foundation and to every volunteer and sponsor whose kindness continues to change my life.
