The best kind of help is rendered to people who may never be able to repay that kindness sooner or later.
I was in my final year in 2015 and it was time to carry out the compulsory undergraduate project course in partial fulfillment of the B. Pharm degree.
I was on the verge of spending an extra year because I could not get the complete money to buy the chemicals to begin my bench work which cost about #67k as then. Of course, you could hardly tell your supervisor you don't have money without being greeted with abuses and ridiculed with the tag that education is expensive.
It was another trying time for me, I suffer for my undergraduate life sha still putting up an appearance but I can only thank God for everything I went through. I thought of suicide countless times, the first was in 2013, that's a talk for another.
I rallied around to get at least #30k from my big sister, God bless her immensely. #37k shy from what I needed to kick start my project work.
Then God sent an angel, I visited her and narrated my ordeal to her that am about to drop out in my final year because I could not start my project. I was teary when she immediately pulled out her passbook. That cheque is the first cheque I received in my life. In fact, I only heard of cheques until that day.
I called her an angel because she has displayed all attributes of an angel. This angel is Mrs. Uwem Eyo. She was a life and destiny saver by that act. She's been a counselor, trainer, teacher, Big Sister, and supporter through it all.
Thank you Big sister for everything.
Thank you for the blessing of access and time. I don't take them for granted.
Thank you for always opening your door to me despite your busy schedule.
Thank you for the timely encouragement and pieces of advice before my wedding day, kai thus wisdom is bae, Thank you.
Thank you for 2015, that gesture will remain indelible in my heart.
Thank you for the motivation.
Thank you for being amazing, your kind is rare.
I appreciate you for everything, God bless you and keep you, Big sister.
We love you Mrs. Joyful Uwem Eyo.
May God continue to bless you and keep you.
