By God's grace, the sum of N107,000.00 (One Hundred and Seven Thousand Naira) was realised from my funds raising campaign to assist his business. Recall that I promised to disclose the sum realized. He has used the money to rent a shop where people can sit and patronize his goods.
Mr. Lawrence-White has expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed and those that patronize him daily."
