We are super grateful for all the kind words, encouragement and opportunities that Ali have been exposed to.

Ali is finding the journey exciting and he hopes to pursue a career in modeling. So far he is currently being groomed ( a work in progress).

Ali needs all the gigs he can get to afford his basic living expense. While we are leveraging on these opportunities to find him a paying job, we would be like to solicit for funds to  get him off the street to safe space while he pursues his new found career dream in runway and modeling.


Our target is $10,000

Breakdown:
Accommodation:
(2years rent ) for a self-contain apartment, home appliances and the rest would be used for the start up of  his own metal scrap business .


Thank you for the support and love . Keep spreading love .

The funds will be managed by Emmanuel Obianke (photographer @_thekoko )and Afolabi Oriyomi ( fashion designer @afolabilagos
