The 58-year-old woman whose story was initially shared Niger Delta Insider, stated that due to the fact that she started having kids relatively late, her children are still financially dependent on her.
Rose is a hard worker
According to Rose, she does not shy away from hard work as much as it would bring in money. Considering her age, she was asked what other thing she would like to do if she support comes her way. The woman said:
"I will like to have a gas shop where people can buy the content in little KGs. I will love if people can support me in achieving this dream."
Rose, who works in Yenegoa but hails from Imo, can be reached on 08063740364.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian lady, @bossit_, was amazed when she saw a very young boy, Jonathan, working as a tiling labourer in her compound.
She filmed him secretly to show her followers. Days after the initial video gathered reactions, the lady properly spoke to the boy, asking some personal questions about his family.
Female labourer gifted N500k
A Nigerian girl, Jennifer, working on a construction site in an earlier video, received the help of a lady, @cutieee_flawless, who saw the efforts she was exerting and gave her N10,000.
Days after the clip of the hard worker went viral, Nigerians contributed towards the girl's welfare and raise the sum of N500,000 for her in a new video.
