Family that washed old mattress on Christmas Day get brand new mattress and cash courtesy of a generous Legit reader.
Let us continue to share love.



A good Samaritan has helped an 80-year-old woman and her grandchildren in Osun state

- Legit.ng had posted pictures of the family while washing their old mattress on Christmas Day

- A Legit.ng's reader later came to the rescue of the family and gave them cash of N50,000.


Barely four days after pictures of an elderly woman, Rafatu Oyekunle and her orphaned grandchildren went viral on Legit.ng, the octogenarian has got an unexpected New Year gift from a generous Nigerian.

The pictures which were taken by Legit.ng's regional reporter in Osun state, Gboyega Bakare, showed a hilarious mood of the family while washing their old mattress in preparation for the New Year.

Speaking with the aged woman during the presentation of the new mattress and the cash, Legit.ng found out that her plight of having to live in such a deplorable condition was as a result of the unfortunate death of her grown-up children that should have given her a good life in her old age.

The woman could not hide her joy to receive the unexpected gift of a brand new mattress and a cash gift of N10,000.

The octogenarian, who spoke in Yoruba said she was delighted for the kind gesture, adding that she had wanted to have a big mattress but could not afford it.

She said:


I'm very happy to have a new mattress. I have always wanted a big new mattress like this, but how could I have been able to afford one when even feeding is very difficult.

"The young people you see around me are some of my grandchildren whose parents are all dead. It has been a great burden, so much that nothing else is important but feeding. As you can see, even my house is in a terrible state of disrepair and almost inhabitable.''


While appreciating her helper, Miss Chineye of nenyelitious.tv who sent her a sum of N50,000, out of which the mattress was procured for N40,000 and a balance of N10,000 given to her, Mrs. Oyekunke prayed for God's flourishing blessing upon her helper.

She added:

''May God almighty prosper her work and bless her with glorious children that will give her a life full of joy and happiness. I'm very grateful to God almighty and to all of you who brought my plight to her notice."

Mrs. Oyekunle further used the opportunity to call on other well-meaning Nigerians to come to the aid of the less privileged people in the country, so that life could be more meaningful and worth living for them too.

you need to stop all this hate even if that was the fruit with which your parents fed you while being brought you. Poverty is a known across all the continent on this planet. It has nothing to do with being restricted to the west or people on Nairaland.

Even if your parents has made you to think and speak ill of other sections of Nigeria, you should be able to live above that lie by now... be happy for those families who were helped.

Stop saying "west" as if people in other parts of the country ain't living in penury.

I just stated the obvious truth.
