Foundation gifts N1.5m to support cancer patients

The William and Helen Heritage Foundation (WHHF) has donated a sum of N1.5 million to aid the treatment of cancer patients in Abuja.

The donation according to the vice chairman of the foundation, Mr Titus Omolewa, was part of activities to mark the fourth memorial anniversary of the late Reverend Helen Titilayo Okoye, wife of former Aso Rock Chaplain, Reverend William Okoye.

The patients, five in number, were presented with a cheque of N300,000 each to assist them in the treatment of various cancer-related diseases.

“Today, we are here as a foundation to give back to the people who actually inspired the creation of the WHH foundation. In 2019, our mother in the Lord Rev (Mrs) Okoye passed on to glory as a result of a cancer-related ailment.

“Afterwards, a foundation was made in her honour to ensure that even though she passed on from a cancer disease, we can also help people because we know the legacy she left behind. We want to make sure that the legacy that she left behind continues. So that is one of the reasons why the foundation was created,” Omolewa said.

One of the beneficiaries, Mrs Theresa Peter, thanked the foundation for their support saying “I am so happy and I want to appreciate the foundation as well as the doctor that recommended me for this grant”.
