Help the Bah family afford food and schooling
Donation protected
Hi everyone, this is the Bah family. Mustapha, Aminatah, Yankuba, Fatou, Mariama, and Hawa.
A few months ago Mustapha reached out to me via Instagram, humbly asking for a small donation so that they could buy food. I gave what I could, and since then we have become friends. I have seen the power of the internet at work before, and I hope that it can do it again here to help this amazing family survive and hopefully even return to school! Any size donation makes a big difference, if only 10 people donated 10 dollars, they will eat for a month. Below is a paragraph from Mustapha explaining their situation.
Hello friends and family my name is Mustapha bah I am from The Gambia west Africa I am here living with my mother and younger siblings but we are orphans looking for a support. We use to have this food problem since we lost our father it’s been four years ago since that time we are facing this difficulties and no one seems to care about us or bothering us sometimes it use go up to two to three days without getting any single food to eat and before does hard times I use to go to the forest cutting firewood and sell it and the little amount I have I buy it for food but since the government stop us cutting the wood at the forest that is the time things got worst So I have one of my friend who updated me that he have support in the media so he keeps encouraging me to find a friends from Instagram so that’s the time I keep working for a month and I buy a new phone so that I can find friends maybe I can be lucky so that’s the time I keep searching and luckily I meet with good friend call Sidney and he try to understand my situation in terms of support and he give a helping hand and we were excited about it but he tell me that he is not that much strong so he tell me that he will try to open a gofundme were people gives a donation and so we are really happy with that I hope we will have people who will have mercy for us and understand our situation so that we can have food and somes clothes so that the younger siblings will be very grateful and comfortable and we have here three siblings here which are not going to school and if we can have the support to take them to school we will be very happy
