Many of the family members and friends interviewed by COCORIOKO  commended Mrs. Timbo-Nwokedi .They marvelled at her indomitable spirit and courage. It must be recalled that two -and-a-half years ago, Mrs. Timbo-Nwokedi suffered a double  tragedy when  her father, Alhaji Abdulai Timbo  passed away in Ghana where he had been taken for treatment and shortly after , her beloved  husband, medical doctor Sylvester Nwokedi , died suddenly one evening while they were home preparing dinner , leaving her to take care of two daughters. She was hugely devastated by her father’s and her husband’s deaths and many women faced with such a calamity would have fallen apart , but though she still carries an aching void in her heart , Mrs. Timbo-Nwokedi continued her characteristic hard work and completed her education with flying colours.

Mrs. Timbo-Nwokedi’s mother, Madam Marie Salim ,  said she is very proud of her daughter , not only for her humanitarian enterprises but her latest achievement. She told this paper that her daughter has always been somebody with an extraordinary spirit .

It must also be recalled that Mrs. Timbo-Nwokedi had been providing valuable services to  hospitals and health centers in Sierra Leone . She had been donating containers of medical equipment and supplies to these medical institutions  in addition to sending bags of rice and food supplies to vulnerable people in the country. She has also been sponsoring muslims to the yearly hajj in Mecca .

Asked how she hoped to use her newly-achieved BSN degree , Mrs. Timbo-Nwokedi said that she will use her latest achievement for the cause of humanity. A professional nurse with an RN before her graduation , Mrs. Timbo-Nwokedi also owns  and runs a successful and thriving home health care Agency in Lawndale , California, called the Gidda’s Home Health Services. She  plans to use her advanced nursing education to help provide quality health care delivery in America and the land of her birth, Sierra Leone.

We congratulate Mrs. Timbo-Nwokedi for her achievement and we pray that God will help her broaden her horizon and sphere of influence in her profession and philanthropic work.
