MRS. TOYIN SARAKI VISITS OUR HOSPICE

January 2004 was a special day in the calendar of Hearts of Gold Children's Hospice, Surulere, Lagos.

It was the day the Wife of the Kwara State Governor, Her Excellency, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Saraki showed her humanitarian love and support to children with terminal illnesses resident at the Home.

She is indeed a woman with a Heart of Gold. She played with the children, presented educational toys, paid the salary of a full time social worker specially for two year old baby Tobi.

The baby is blind, was beaten and abandoned and found wrapped in a nylon bag tied and thrown into a canal at Itire, Surulere, Lagos. Baby Tobi suffers from a condition known as Cerebral Palsy which affects the brain, lacks co-ordination, muscle and the general movement of the body.

On behalf of the children of Hearts of Gold, we say Thank You to Her Excellency, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Saraki and we look forward to her next visit.
