Because of Friends like you gave, the Foundation provided prosthetic limbs to two boys, Timilehin and Olamide. Two women, Grandma Odusote and Anna received wheelchairs.
One lady, Yetunde was fitted with her prosthetic limb. One lady, Damilola initiated the process of rehabilitation but decided to drop out before the final fitting. The components procured for her limb are being re-coupled for a 2017 beneficiary. A total of Nine amputees have benefited from the Foundation’s support since its inception in 2015. The Feet of Grace Foundation also provides support to leverage poverty alleviation activities for two female amputees (Anna and Joy). In addition, two amputee boys (Chidiebere and Timilehin) went back to school in October 2016, with grants for Educational Support provided by the Rehoboth Dream Support Foundation.
