Financial assistance in Nigeria from foundations and wealthy individuals

I have three children who really want a dog. It took us a long time to decide, but we finally chose a breed and found a dog. Unfortunately, we cannot afford the cost. The dog costs from 50,000 Naira, and with the addition of delivery fees, it’s beyond our budget. We’re not looking for a show or breeding dog, just a companion for our family. Our eldest daughter has disabilities, and the dog would be a wonderful friend for her as she has no close friends. Please, if anyone could kindly help us. The children have their hearts set on a Shar-Pei.

Hello. I apologize for reaching out, but I am overwhelmed by debt and desperately need financial assistance. My husband recently lost his job, and managing loans and expenses for our children has become extremely challenging. We are struggling to pay rent and may soon face eviction with no other place to turn, as my husband is an orphan. Please help us if you can. I would be incredibly grateful.

Our organization has been operating since 2014 and is the first in Lagos to represent the interests of young people with intellectual disabilities who have reached adulthood. We work with individuals who have varying degrees of intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and schizophrenia. Our main goal is comprehensive rehabilitation, focusing on teaching independent living and self-care skills to people with mental challenges. Recently, the space of our Radius Centre has doubled! The Ministry of Family, Demographic Policy and Social Well-being of the Lagos region provided us with additional premises. Unfortunately, they are in a poor condition, which is why we are reaching out to you. To launch the workrooms for our Creative and Craft workshops, we need to carry out cosmetic repairs. Additionally, to organize a major refurbishment of the sensory room and lounge area, we need to remove and install new flooring. We need to purchase wallpaper, paint, wallpaper adhesive, ceiling tiles, plaster mix, and drywall. Without your support, we can’t make this happen!

Good afternoon. I find myself in a situation that many might relate to. I’m a 30-year-old who relocated from Abuja to Kano after losing my job due to vaccination requirements. I’m actively seeking new employment and considering getting vaccinated (as it’s inevitable). However, I’m currently without any funds. I need money for transportation and food, and I also have my four-legged friend “Max” with me. It’s humbling to ask, but any assistance, even a small amount like 500 naira, would be greatly appreciated to cover essentials like transport fares. I believe in kindness and miracles. Thank you.

Hello kind supporters of dreams. I’m 39 years old and I truly wish to have a baby. I’ve begun the process for an IVF grant but have encountered numerous obstacles. For the past year, it’s been one issue after another with endless tests, and I’ve felt quite discouraged. Many tests are costly and each comes with its own expiration date. If you could assist me in raising the necessary funds, I can go to a reputable private clinic and undergo IVF promptly. This would help me achieve my dream of becoming a mother. Thank you to anyone who can help.

Hello everyone reading this, I truly need financial assistance to pay for my sister’s education. I need 60,000 naira, as I have managed to earn the rest. Altogether, we needed 150,000 naira. She is studying at a university in Lagos. Please help me, as I am unable to earn more. I’m sincerely asking for your support. This is not a scam; it’s the truth. Please, if you are able, help us.

Hello! I am in a difficult situation with my 6-year-old son. His father left us and I have no place to live. My mother left me without a home when I was 16. I am renting a place for seven thousand naira and paying 2,500 naira for my child’s kindergarten. Additionally, I have loans of 48,000 and 30,000 naira. Please help! I am working as a nanny and earning 16,000 naira, which is not enough. It feels like a curse, but I am hopeful for the first time that we can find some relief. I have never asked anyone for help before. Access Bank Plc 4276500034076172.

Donate to Support Us. Hello! Our family is currently facing a difficult financial situation. My father requires surgery on his arm due to a past accident. Our entire family budget is being spent on medications, medical procedures, and doctor visits. Unfortunately, the doctors were late in diagnosing his condition, which has now deteriorated to the point where only surgery can help. My mother is struggling to repay a loan and has temporarily paused payments. She is working three jobs to try and make ends meet. I need to pay for my education next year, but we have no available resources. Our account details: Payeer P1036170837. A contribution of 400,000 to 450,000 naira would enable us to afford my father’s surgery and settle a significant portion of our debts. We have no one else to turn to except for your kind generosity. You are our only hope! Please do not ignore our plea and extend a helping hand. With gratitude, Dmitry D.A.

Hello, I’m writing here for the first time in such a situation. Please help. I just feel like I have no desire to continue. I went on holiday and made plans to visit a place I’ve long dreamed of with my child. My husband, whom I hadn’t been living with for about a month, returned. He told me he had changed, and like a fool, I believed him. However, he ended up robbing me of all my money and left me with nothing. I’ve reported this to the police, but until they find him, I have nothing. I can no longer think about the trip. I can’t even afford basic groceries; all my bank cards have been stolen, and I’m left with just my mobile wallet. Thank you all in advance.

Hello, my name is Christina, I am 28 years old, and I am raising three school-aged children. Unfortunately, I have fallen into debt, which continues to grow each month. I work in the construction industry and am often away on business trips. My children are cared for by a nanny because my elderly parents are unable to assist. I have been employed at the same company for six years. I lost my husband when our youngest was only six months old, and we receive no financial support. We are currently renting our home. I need financial assistance to pay off these debts and eventually purchase a home of our own. Any help from those willing to assist would be greatly appreciated. First Bank of Nigeria PLC 5536913942479383.

I urgently need to settle an overdue loan of 460,000 naira. I spent six months in the hospital due to illness, and the bank has refused to offer any leniency or deferment options. Now, after recovering, it is challenging to secure a well-paying job to resolve this debt. Debt collectors are relentless every day. I am sincerely asking for any assistance available. 4893 4704 0981 2994

Good afternoon! I’m recently divorced and raising my one-year-old son on my own. It can be challenging at times, and I don’t have anyone to turn to for support and help. I absolutely love cooking and have long dreamed of opening a stall selling traditional doughnuts—not the typical American kind, but the classic Nigerian doughnuts that are hot, crispy, and dusted with icing sugar. There used to be a stall like this in our city, close to the bus station, and it always had long queues of people. Unfortunately, we no longer have such places, and after conducting a survey among local residents, I found that many people miss those nostalgic treats, unlike the usual roadside snacks. I would be very grateful for any support you could offer in making this dream a reality! You can send your support through Access Bank via the phone number provided. Thank you to everyone who cares!

Good afternoon. I understand that this may seem bold, and you might not want to read this message, but I urgently need ₦60,000 for an operation. I can provide the necessary documentation. I am in a very difficult situation. I know people like me reach out to you all the time, but if there’s any way to get assistance, I would be incredibly grateful. I’m alone with a baby and have no one else to turn to for help. Please, if you’re able, I can repay it with a written agreement. I am reaching out to many people in search of help, and I hope you’ll notice my plea.

Hello! My name is Olesya, and I will be 41 years old in a week. I am a person with a disability, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and my mobility is severely limited. I live with my daughter in a rented apartment. I’m overwhelmed with loans and don’t have enough money. I have been prescribed the medication Fampyra, but it is very expensive at 20,000 Naira per month, and it must be taken continuously. This means I need 240,000 Naira for the year. I kindly ask for your help, as I don’t see any other solution. You can call me, and I will explain everything in detail. My Access Bank account number is 2202200722272596. I sincerely appreciate any assistance. Thank you very much.

Arrived in Abuja from Tajikistan. All my savings were stolen at the railway station. I have no acquaintances here, and no one can help me. While I am waiting for a transfer from my relatives back home, I need something to eat and drink.

I will register and officially get a job as a builder, where I’ll earn a decent salary. I will definitely repay any assistance. 2000 Naira will help me get through this initial period.

There are times when you make financial decisions thinking they are just for precautionary measures. However, sometimes emergencies happen suddenly and repeatedly. You may find yourself in a situation where you’ve exhausted all options, feeling desperate as the financial consequences quickly catch up with you. Despite working tirelessly for 14 hours a day, with no days off, and having my daughter stay with her grandmother, I have not managed to resolve my financial issues. I am only managing to cover the exorbitant interest rates on three credit cards, unable to address the principal debt itself. I am seeking financial assistance to help pay off these credit cards and a personal debt that has been outstanding for 7 years. I accept full responsibility for my past choices, but I can’t overcome this on my own.

I am a designer, and my 14-year-old computer is starting to fail. The memory is filling up, and it’s nearing the end of its life. To continue my work in designing various scenes, which I am passionate about, I need a functional computer to practice and carry on with my favorite profession. I truly hope I can receive some assistance.

Hello, I need help to buy a house. I am a mother of two children; the eldest is 4 years old and the youngest is 1 year old. My husband and I tried to get a mortgage, but the banks refused because of our low income. My husband is the only one working, and his salary is just 17,000 naira. Due to the economic crisis, salaries have been reduced. I used to work part-time, but I was laid off. We live in a rented apartment and pay 9,000 naira for rent. Please help our family. We have some savings, but it’s not enough to buy anything significant. Thank you.

I live in Lagos in a rented apartment. I am involved in animal care. My financial difficulties started this spring. Currently, I am unable to pay the rent arrears of 200,000 NGN. The landlord is urgently demanding the payment. I have no way to obtain this money and no place to go. Please, help me gather this amount. My account number is 1234567890 at Zenith Bank.

Free Financial Assistance Needed!

Hello, I am reaching out for help. I’m 27 years old, married, and have a 10-month-old child. I’ve recently encountered a tough situation. A month ago, my work contract ended unexpectedly. I have been in construction for 5 years and, although the pay wasn’t high, we managed to make ends meet. Unfortunately, we don’t own a home and live in rented apartments. My wife is 20 years old and studying, while also caring for our child at home.

After my contract ended, I started taking odd jobs and searching for a stable job. However, things have been difficult. I haven’t been paid for the work I’ve done, and I’m accumulating debt. I can’t afford rent with the little money I earn from temporary jobs. To make things worse, there was a fire on the balcony. Although it didn’t spread, it damaged the door, which was expensive to replace. I’ve borrowed money to pay rent, and I’m still in debt.

Every day is a struggle. I need to borrow money constantly while I search for a job. We’re out of basic necessities like food and formula for our child. I can’t get a loan, and I urgently need at least ₦20,000 to stabilize and secure a job. Tomorrow, I have to continue my job search, but I don’t even have enough for transportation or basic groceries like bread.

If anyone can spare even a small amount like ₦500, it would be a lifesaver. You can reach me at 08123456789. I am truly sorry for the appeal and grateful for any help or advice on where to turn.

I’m facing a tough situation in life. I’ve lost my job and have a 2-year-old child. I have a mortgage that I haven’t been able to pay for 3 months, and they’re threatening to evict us. I don’t have enough money for food either, and we’re surviving on instant noodles. I’m actively seeking employment, but it’s challenging because potential employers are hesitant to hire someone who might take time off due to a young child. I have no support from the child’s father, and no one else to turn to. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it’s just 50 or 100 naira. I don’t know where else to turn. Thank you very much to anyone who can assist. Card: 4276 0600 6847 4363.

Good day to everyone who sees and reads these lines. Everything in my life has gone wrong. I am no longer young and my strength is fading, having worked all my life. I am unwell, suffering from hernias and a brain tumor, without the finances for a full medical examination, constantly tormented by headaches. I am drowning in debt from housing, utilities, and loans. My debt is almost 400,000 naira, and I live like I’m on a powder keg. Half of my pension is taken for debt repayment, leaving me with only 4,740 naira to live on. I can’t work due to severe back pain. Please, if anyone can help, come forward! I can provide all the documents from the bailiffs. I believe there are still people who value the elderly; everyone has a mother, aunt, or grandmother. Thank you, kind people.

I find it difficult and embarrassing to write this, but I have nowhere else to turn. Due to a temporary lack of work, I had to take out microloans and now I’m struggling to repay them. I am currently employed, but there’s no place to source the funds I need. Even a small contribution of 10 naira would be a great help. Thank you all in advance for your support.

My name is Sima. Born in 1988.
A week ago, I was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of tuberculosis. The treatment will be lengthy, and unfortunately, I won’t be discharged for another 6 months. I have a young child with epilepsy who needs medical examination and treatment, but I am unable to provide for her needs. I am also in debt and don’t know where to find financial support. My parents are elderly and retired. Please, if you can assist me, I would be incredibly grateful. My phone number is +2348167833165. Thank you for any help you can offer.

I want to help a close friend realize a dream. My friend loves to cook and is very talented. She has taken courses and attended numerous masterclasses. Her dream is to open her own pizzeria.

Saving for this dream with her small salary is challenging. I am reaching out to generous individuals to provide financial support. Your help would bring her immense happiness.

We are parents of children living in the town of Ikeja, Lagos State, at Oladele Street 57. We kindly request your assistance in restoring the children’s sports playground in our yard. Perhaps you could provide us with some equipment as a charitable contribution. Despite numerous appeals to various government agencies, our efforts have been unsuccessful. Our community finds it challenging to raise the necessary funds for the restoration. The playground would offer an ideal place for children and teenagers to engage in recreational activities, fostering an interest in sports and promoting a healthy lifestyle. We sincerely hope that our appeal will not go unnoticed. Please help us fulfill our children’s dream! We hope you understand our situation and can provide support. We are grateful in advance! Sincerely, the parents of house 57. Card number 0123456789012345 Beneficiary Maria M.

I am from Lagos, working in a hospital with 18 years of experience, holding the highest category. I have faced injustice at work and reported it to the Ministry of Health. Instead of receiving support, I have been subjected to repression, discrimination, and persecution. Despite appealing to supervisory authorities, I have only received dismissive responses. Since February 2020, my salary has been 13,700 naira, and all additional payments have been withdrawn. I approached the Labour Inspectorate and requested documents, discovering that my labor contract was forged. Forensic analysis confirmed the forgery, but no offence was acknowledged. I have been living in debt, owing many people, borrowing from some to pay others.

I have two children, and my eldest daughter is studying to be a doctor. We have even had to skip meals because we can’t afford them. We also have to pay lawyers daily to take this matter to court. On the 7th of May, my daughter will turn 18, and she wants to renovate her room.

My wife and I have been together for 15 years, and we have two children. Recently, we have been living with relatives in a small two-room apartment. We share one room with our two children. Unfortunately, my last two jobs didn’t work out, and it’s been a challenging time for us. I don’t drink, but luck hasn’t been on our side. We are at a loss on how to move forward and are reaching out for help, even if it’s just advice. If anyone can respond, we would be very grateful.

A heartfelt plea… I’m at a loss for where to turn. Our baby boy was born with an eye condition called coloboma in both eyes. He is on formula feeding. My income isn’t sufficient. We can’t organize any support because we lack documents from the father’s side, and his whereabouts are unknown. We reside in a room in a hostel. The utility bills are around 5000 naira, and it’s daunting to even mention that. Where to find the funds and how to provide for the children is uncertain!! If anyone can help, please reach out… Sincerely, the Savelas family.
