On July 6, 2024, what was supposed to be the best birthday of my life turned out to be one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever had.

I broke my leg in three places and I could no longer walk.
I didn’t know if I’ll be able to do the things I love, but I knew I would begin to do the things that mattered.

I watched how people with disabilities are treated and I wanted to do my part to make life a little bit easier, Because some of the basic things we take for granted were just so hard to do.

-Starting with FashionAble, an adaptive clothing label to supply clothes for people with disabilities — Magnets instead of buttons and zips, wider like pants for people who have casts, shirts with arm braces embedded and much more.
-Second: equipments like aesthetic boots, wheelchairs, crutches, donated to different centers and homes across Nigeria that need them the most.
-Third: working with different hospitals and care centers on the kind of food and menus available to people who are recently disabled or in recovery. You don’t have to be rich; but everybody should have access to a decent meal.
-Fourth: Funding equipments for hospitals and centers to focus on providing faster response, more effective surgeries, and the ability to pay better doctors and consultants to care for people in need.
-And last but certainly not least, donations to help clear the debt of families who are unable to adequately cater to their loved ones with disabilities .

This I believe is one of the reasons I’ve been blessed to come out of this situation alive🙏🏼

To my family and friends who never left my side, all I can say is thank you. It has been an incredibly painful 8weeks; For everyone who messaged, emailed, prayed, and visited. I love you. 💕🫂❤️‍🩹
