Fola displayed prayer points she found on her sister’s wall when she visited her house. Fola wrote:
“Went to my sister’s house, this is too painful, her prayer points on the wall. So sad, I will never see her again.”
Fola’s sister was the breadwinner
Fola attached a GoFundMe link set up to raise money for her sister’s burial. So far, £1,903 (over N4 million in current exchange rate) has been raised from 97 donations.
Fola’s late sister was described as a fighter and a mother who moved to the UK after struggling for years as her family’s breadwinner.
Within six months of her arrival in the UK, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and continued to work while receiving treatment as her husband was without a job.
