This time last year, I was hopeless and moving about with a burden too big for me to carry. Yes! I was depressed….
I came across Sholly smile factory, I went through the posts and somehow I knew I had to follow Aunty Salt’s post. I saw the invite for the Rising program and registered. That was my first time chatting with Mrs Abimbola Essien Nelson and I will always say this woman is an Angel.
I attended Sholly’s rising and here begins my rising story. That day hope was birthed afresh in me. God! I cried and smiled at the same time. Thank you for the coaches present that day. Believe me, I’m Rising. And for FIREBRAND, I can’t let go of that book.
Anytime I’m down, I go through the notes I put down and I smile. It was an “extraordinary” day.
The foundation refunded my transport fare in ten folds and on several occasions, Aunt Salt has been there to counsel me at very tough and challenging moments the same year.
I applied for a scholarship grant in December and to my surprise, a full scholarship was granted. This also came with fund for personal needs.
I am in Peter King college of music today, all thanks to this great foundation. My bills are paid quarterly and on time too.
I still have the yellow bracelet and it reminds me I’m always loved.
This is my testimony about the ‘Shola Adefolalu Gaska foundation’.
For all this, I will forever remain grateful to every one involved in this great foundation.
To the board of trustees and founder, I am grateful.
Thank you for yielding.
I am hopeful.
I am Rising.
Sincere gratitude.
Oderinde Kehinde.
