Seanne was overcome with emotions when they shared their story of how they lost their leg – how it broke them but also gave them a new perspective on life. Seanne feared becoming a burden to their family even though they know the family doesn’t mind helping out. Now, more than ever, they want to stand up with head held high, be able to work, and live with confidence. They wrote to us expressing their desire of getting a new prosthetic leg.

Here’s what Seanne has to say:

“I don’t want to limit myself just because I have a disability. I want to dream and be able to work towards it. I want to inspire people, that if I can do it, they can too. All I need is a chance.

I am so grateful that Project Nightfall Organization have chosen me to be one of your recipients. I don’t even know how to express my gratitude. This is such a big help for me and my future. “

Seanne has already reached one of their dreams, to inspire people as they has truly inspired us with their fighting spirit! Nightfam, thank you for doing this with us! By watching our videos, you help us change lives and empower people.

Here’s what he has to say:

“Thank you for your support! I can’t describe my feeling! This will help me and my family a lot… Again thank you so much this [is] life changing for us! We hope Project Nightfall [Philanthropy] continues their successful content.”

Nightfam, we are not doing this on our own! With your support, by watching our videos, you help us reach out to people like O’deen and many others who are in need – not only of basic things such as food or daily supplies, but also of hope that there are better days ahead.

The Hamda Community Health Center was originally built as a free clinic for Smile Africa Children’s Foundation, a school and orphanage in Uganda. However, after reaching out to the community, the founder Robert Katende and the staff realized there was no treatment facilities or hospitals in the area. So the clinic opened up for more people instead and became the community’s first health center.

With the pandemic, the number of patients have increased. Robert sent his application to the Project Nightfall Organization hoping to win the $1000 and buy additional supply of medicines for their healthcare facility.

Here’s what Robert has to say:

“We can reach a lot of people with that $1000, even if it’s only $1, it can still make a change and treat someone…”

“We are so happy to hear from you what a good news. [We] shall be so happy to share with you pictures and videos of what your donation has done for our health center.”

Nightfam, the story of Robert and his efforts for the community is truly notable. We are so proud to be a part of this in a small way. And of course, this is also on you, Nightfam! Thank you!

Driven by the love for her own mother, Vjollca was determined to empower the elderly women in her community and bring back their confidence and self-worth. Women became excluded from society in her city in Kosovo and the trauma of war was no help. She is going to use the $1000 to repair a basement that was going to be the headquarters for her women’s club. They will come together exercising, having conversations, and having therapy. Soon, this place will become a haven for elderly and middle-aged women healing from the dark memories of the past and finding a new meaning while it’s not too late.

Here’s what Vjollca has to say:

“I can’t hide my joy [and] emotion of yesterday’s conversation, especially knowing that your support can be a good starting point of building my project.”

It is amazing how many we have reached so far and the different causes from different countries we have supported. We would have not done it without you, Nightfam! Thank you for your part in this!

When Northern Uganda was hit by attacks, some kind-hearted people could not just leave the displaced women and children behind. The Obanga Ber Widows and Orphans Africa is a non-profit organization created to accommodate and support widows and orphans displaced by the wars.

The organization has been raising funds for the construction of their shelter and decided to submit an entry to our Weekly 1000 and we are so glad that we found their application! Now they can complete a new facility that can house even more people in need of their support.

Here’s what their co-founder has to say:

“We are grateful for it because it will help us facilitate, finish [the shelter].

We are writing to express our deepest thanks for your recent donation to Obanga Ber Widows & Orphans Africa. Generous gifts from donors like you provide the financial and moral support needed to continue our mission.”

Truth is, during wars and conflicts, women and children are often left most vulnerable and they need all the protection and support to face a brand new future.

With your help, these children and widows in a community in Uganda can stay in a place that they can call home where they are given an opportunity to be educated and be given another chance at life.
