Help Hamed Feed Vulnerable Families in Ibadan

My name is Hamed Adewale Ishola, and I am a licensed nursing home administrator in the Greater Chicago area. Like many, I have witnessed the far-reaching impacts of COVID-19 and the subsequent inflation. These challenges have inspired me to take action and positively impact the lives of those less fortunate in my hometown of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

I invite you to join me in supporting our food bank program, which we have established in partnership with local NGOs and religious organizations. This initiative aims to provide much-needed assistance to vulnerable groups, including orphanages, single mothers, single fathers, widows, and families of five or more, living in rural and marginalized communities.

Cost breakdown:

Costs in Naira (Nigerian Currency)

1. 100 bags of rice: 100×80,000 = N8,000,000

2. 50 bags of beans: 50×115,000 = N5,750,000

3. 50 bags of garri: 50×71,000 = N3,550,000

4. 100 bottles of palm oil (using the average price of N36,250 for 25 liters): 100×36,250= N3,625,000

Total Cost in Naira

N8,000,000+N5,750,000+N3,550,000+N3,625,000 = N20,925,000

Convert to Dollars

Given that $1 = N1,500:

Total cost in dollars = N20,925,000 / 1,500 = $13,950

The beneficiaries of this program are residents of:

Olodo: A rural area with limited access to essential services.

Erunmu: Known for its agricultural activities but burdened by poor infrastructure and poverty.

Ajobo: A small community facing economic hardships and low-income levels.

Idi-Osan: A village with poor living conditions and inadequate resources.

Olorunsogo: A rural community where poverty is prevalent, with many residents relying on subsistence farming.

Amuloko: An area facing significant economic challenges, including high unemployment.

Foworogun: A village with limited access to healthcare and education, exacerbating poverty.

Araromi-Aperin: A community struggling with poverty and a lack of basic infrastructure.

By joining us in this endeavor, you can help make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Proverbs 19:17: “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.”

Yours faithfully,

Hamed
