Edu

Finally home😩♥️ It was my first time at the J. Randle Centre for Yorùbá Culture & History and the place looked amazing. I didn't have the time to go round to see the entire infrastructure, but the parts I saw were really cool.

School Outreach Update coming up this week🥺 To everyone who has supported Bonnicare Foundation's @BONCAFO work over the years, especially those who have believed in us, stood by us, donated, shared our stories, amplified our work online, and supported me personally, I want to say a very big thank you. I don't think I say this enough, but I am genuinely grateful. This work has not been easy. And if I told you that it hasn't taken a toll on me mentally, financially and emotionally, I would be lying. There are days when the weight of it all feels overwhelming. There are moments when I have had to dig deep just to find the strength to keep going. Sometimes, I have had to figure things out with very little, carry responsibilities that feel bigger than me, and keep showing up even when I am exhausted. But somehow, the kindness of Nigerians who believe in what we do keeps finding me. Every donation, every encouraging message, every repost, every person who chooses to stand with us reminds me that I am not doing this alone. And that means more than I can adequately put into words. 📌If you're ever led to support our work in rural communities, please donate to 0165410679 Union Bank - Bonnicare Foundation. One thing I have come to realise over the years is how easy it is to become disconnected from the realities of other people. It is easy to live within our own bubbles and forget that there are millions of Nigerians whose everyday struggles are far removed from anything we may ever have to experience. There are people in this country who wake up every morning to realities that are unimaginably difficult. Children whose access to education is uncertain. Families struggling to afford the most basic necessities. Women and girls living through circumstances that many of us would find difficult to comprehend. Communities where things we often take for granted are privileges. These are the people I have always wanted to reach. These are the communities I have always wanted to show up for. Not because I have all the answers or because I have everything figured out, but because I cannot bring myself to look away when there is something I can do. As the founder and chief storyteller of Bonnicare Foundation, I have had the privilege of witnessing what even the smallest acts of kindness can make possible. I have seen lives change because someone, somewhere, decided to give. I have seen doors open because a stranger cared enough to support a child, a family or a community. So, to everyone who has donated money, supported our projects, shared our appeals, told our stories, checked on me, encouraged me, or simply reminded me that this work matters, thank you. You may never fully understand what your support has meant to us, but I hope you know that it has helped us keep going. I may not always have the resources I wish I had. I may not always have the strength I wish I had. But I remain committed to showing up for the people and communities that need us. Thank you for believing in the work. Thank you for believing in me. And thank you for helping us remind people in forgotten communities that they, too, matter. We still have so much work to do. ❤️

Edu is a moving woman and will meet her luck one day...
