True Care Foundation has embarked on its annual charity visits to physically and mentally challenged individuals, downtrodden and indigent women as part of contributions to alleviate the plight of the less privileged in the society.
President of the group, Austin Njoku, said the target is to affect the lives of at least 500 families.
The group, in its latest outreach, visited The Mother of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Beth Torrey Homes for Mentally Challenged and Handicapped Children, Spinal Cord Injury Association, all in Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos State where they donated food and household items to target beneficiaries.
The group also visited Mother and Child Hospital at Amuwo-Odofin, where they paid hospital bills of five women who could not pay their hospital bills and got them released from the hospital.
Njoku said it gave them relief impacting on people’s lives. He said this had become part of the group’s signature project every December.
He said it was important for those who are privileged, while taking care of their needs and that of their families, to also remember those who are deprived as well as care givers attending to the people.
He said the Foundation was formed about 11 years ago by a group of friends who normally sat down to eat, drink and make merry, but decided that if God had blessed them with such monies they could also set a part of it aside to bless the less privileged and the sick.
