Dear Family and Friends of MM Foundation,

I am back from a hectic, yet exciting Nigerian trip where we officially opened the Mmaraihe Memorial Cottage Hospital and Orphanage. It was a memorable and epoch-making event; as noted by the head of the community, Eze Asumugha, The Anya I of Umuanya, “This is the first of its kind in this needy village, the first of its kind in Umuahia, in fact, the first of its kind in Abia State, that a woman has single-handedly with her family, come back to her birth home to create a deed of such great magnitude.” It is with great humility that I accept such honor and accolade, as the entire honor goes to The One Above, without whom my husband and I would not have been able to accomplish and achieve this for the community, and to the honor of God. It is obvious that God’s hand is in the whole affair, because everyone who spoke talked of the hospital and orphanage and hospital as a “miracle center” where people will not just be healed physically, but spiritually as well.

As usual with many of our events pertaining to the MM Foundation, we had a health fair, which was overwhelmingly attended, as it depicted the dire need of the community for such a health institution. There was plenty to eat and drink, lots of cultural activities, including masterful traditional dances and songs by the Umuanya Women’s Association Dance Group.

The hospital is now declared officially opened, and we continue to work tirelessly to furnish and equip the hospital and orphanage. Though the institution may be in the interiors of a primitive village, I still have a dream of it being a teaching institution hospital someday in the near future.

Based on this dream, I now plead and petition for to anyone who can support us by way donating the medical equipment, supplies and medications or finances. Ultimately, your prayers as usual and customary count the most.

Stay blessed!
