At Sahara on the Bay, stories of hope and transformation remind us of the profound impact that education can have on lives. One such story is that of Barbara, a bright and determined student whose life was changed through the generosity of her sponsor, Mrs. Joanne Bartke.
Barbara, now a second-year nursing student, shared a deeply emotional testimonial expressing her gratitude to Mrs. Bartke. Her words are a testament to the power of kindness, the resilience of the human spirit, and the life-changing role that sponsors play in empowering students.
Here is Barbara’s testimonial, shared in her own heartfelt words:
“I greet you Mrs Bartke💓🫂, you are really an angel sent by God in human form. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭, I was not aware that one day God will change my tears from tears of sorrow to happiness. Saying thank you is not enough. May God reward all your works of charity.
Waking up today, I was shocked by the message I received from Mrs. Ruth. I tried to widely open my eyes to see properly as it reads: ‘Mrs. Joanne managed to pay all your fees up to graduation and she has also secured a laptop for you.’
I did not know that God will remember me that way. No one has ever bought me a laptop; I am used to seeing others with their laptops, admiring them, and trying to be content with what I have.
I’m doing very well in my studies. Last week I was writing my End of Semester Examinations, hopefully, I will come up with flying colours. Wearing a cap with two lines simply shows how I’m moving with this journey. Here am I, a second-year student.
Thank you so much for paying my fees. Nothing will interfere with my studies. Stay blessed, I love you 🥰💓🙏🏽.”
Barbara’s testimony is a poignant reminder of how small acts of generosity can create ripples of joy and hope. Her journey, filled with gratitude and determination, is an inspiration to us all.
To Mrs. Bartke and all our sponsors, your support goes beyond financial assistance—it gives students like Barbara the courage to dream and the tools to achieve those dreams. Thank you for being part of this transformative mission.
Together, we are changing lives and shaping futures. Support Sahara on the Bay today and be the reason someone smiles tomorrow.
