Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Uduakobong Samuel thanked the organisation for assisting them.
She said: “I am so happy because the people, who owed my husband, refused to pay him to enable him settle my hospital bills. We have been here for over three weeks. I am grateful to members of De Norseman Club International, who have taken away my shame.”
The Compound Nurse, Mrs. Eno Udo, thanked the organisation and urged similar bodies to assist the needy, particularly those who could not afford to pay their medical bills.
She said: “I’m grateful to God for giving members the idea to form this club and for them to render service to humanity.”
