Dear Supporters,
I am Juliet Ijeoma Ezeanyika, and today I want to again share a story that has deeply impacted me and drives my passion for this cause.
When I was a child, there was a remarkable woman who sold akara by the roadside every morning. Her name was Aunty Ifeoma. Every other day, my mother would send me out to get Akara (beancake) for our family’s breakfast, and her warm smile usually brightens my mornings as she wraps them in old newspapers.
On one of the regular days, I learned that this incredible woman, who worked tirelessly to provide for her family, passed away far too soon. The smoke from her cooking and the lack of access to basic healthcare and information took a toll on her health.
Her daughter, now running the same Akara stall, has taken on the same burden. With no time or resources for her own health, she neglects herself to care for her younger siblings. Now, this cycle of neglect and lack of access must end as I believe that no woman should trade one for another.
At DoctorOnTap Foundation, we are committed to breaking this cycle by providing essential healthcare services to economically disadvantaged women like Aunty Ifeoma and her daughter, Isi. Your support can help us offer these women not just medical care, but hope, empowerment, and a chance to thrive.
I want you to know that as you read this, there are people in parts of the world you will never visit who will thank you for a lifetime. This is the moment you can reach out and change their lives with the click of a button.
With gratitude,
Juliet Ijeoma Ezeanyika
