Recently I was contacted by someone who told me about an Orphanage in Nigeria who are in desperate need of help. They need to build a new orphanage as their roof is leaking. Their government is kicking them out of their building. I just received an email from them:
``I am Evangs Lord Tobore, I run COMFORT Orphanage Home, (COF) Nigeria. A non-governmental organization (NGO) here in Nigeria. In the facility we have 147 children. The facility has eight dormitory rooms to house the 147 children. There are 40 staff to care for them 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most of the children enter the Orphanage because their parents either live on the street or are deceased. The children mostly come from Nigeria, with a few being from Liberia. They come from all types of backgrounds and religions but we all live together as one family.
If it weren’t for our facility, these children would have nothing.... no education, no roof over their heads, no food in their bellies. They would be forced to sell things in the market to bring in extra money for food and rent.Many of these children in our facility have been sexually abused, starved, some even left for dead. Some of the children have physical disabilities and have been deemed "unlovable" by their own parents.
Currently we are in need of funds for foundation due to the fact that the only facility we have right now is definitely in a very bad condition. We need medication, food, clothing and recreational activities for rehabilitative purposes to boost the orphans mental abilities. However, the worse thing that we are going through now is, the fact that we are being kicked out of the facility by the Government because the roof of the building is leaking and they want us to show proof of adequate funds, which is $50,000 Dollar USD to build a newer one. On behalf of me, staffs and the orphans here in Happy Home Orphanage Home, we ask that you kindly come to our aid, because your help can make a significant contribution to the life of the children and the operation of the Orphanage. Please pray for Comfort Orphanage Home as we look forward to hearing from you. We are excited to see how God will provide for the children that call Comfort orphanage home.``
I am now thinking that it is a scam and am very disappointed.
