Hellooo there
I am sandra from Masaka
And I have a 4 year old foster sister . She currently needs help for her education because my mother who obtained her legally has less of sources of income to pay for her fees . She dint adopt her but a lady gave birth to the baby girl and ran away and left this girl in her hands
She could not do the same but decided to keep her and is willing to take care of her but if you helped her maintain this girl in school. It could be the best gift to this little girl
Who knows she may be someone in the future. But without help
She may not be able to manage to keep in school yet that is not what we all aim.
Please support my mother to keep this little girl in school.
Looking forward to your reply
