To make ends meet, Evalsam’s grandma works as a farm labourer. The kind lady said a man and his friend reached out to her when she posted about the kid.

With the money gathered, she was able to get him new clothes and bags. Transformation photos shared showed the boy looking neat.

The food items they got

That was not all, she also got some foodstuff items like tubers of yam, bottles of palm oil, beans, garri, among others for his family. His school fees were also covered in 2021.
