He explained that the doctors had failed to notice twins and ended up performing multiple surgeries to save the lives of the girls. Samuel’s wife started bleeding uncontrollably and passed away due to excessive blood loss. In one moment he lost the love of his life and became a single father to four children.
He was devastated by the loss of his wife but has had to soldier on to care for his family. Touched by this, the woman reached out to her community, asking that everyone assist Samuel in coping with this new life.
“I know life is tough for all of us and even tougher for this single father, and I hereby request you to please open your hearts to this young man, family, by donating anything that could be of assistance to them ie: clothes for the siblings, lots of nappies, baby food, milk, pram, carrycots, toys, money in order to buy whatever is necessary to support the family, etc.”
