Delta Governor's Wife Donates Wheelchairs in Outreach
Mrs. Tobore Oborevwori, the wife of the Delta State Governor and founder of the You Matter Charity Foundation, conducted a free medical outreach in Kiagbodo, Burutu Local Government Area, benefiting residents, particularly children with autism and other special needs. The outreach provided 21 wheelchairs, with 90% allocated to adults and 10% to children, alongside physiotherapy toys and assistive educational devices for children.
Additionally, 120 bags of rice were distributed to vulnerable households. The governor's wife approved N5 million for the hip replacement surgery of 27-year-old Ombe Egbaseimokumo, who sought financial help.
Oborevwori emphasized that the outreach was not just a healthcare initiative but aimed to promote inclusion and eliminate stigma associated with autism and disabilities. This event marked the fifth outreach by the Foundation in various federal constituencies, with Burutu being the latest.
Julius Takeme, Chairman of Burutu Local Government Area, praised the initiative for its humanitarian impact on vulnerable Deltans.
