About Us
BACKGROUND
Our story starts way back, when a promising young lady was taken away by a condition called Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
The Anthonia Oyindamola Folakemi Afelumo Coshare (AOFAC) Foundation was set up in 2013 on the anniversary of Anthonia’s passing.
Anthonia was a vibrant 18-year-old, a wonderful daughter, sister and friend. She was academically gifted, having just received outstanding results in her A-level exams, She was on the verge of going to university when she died.
Anthonia wanted to get into healthcare and specialise in TTP to help others; we wanted to continue her fight against this condition and keep her memories alive.
We are involved with other organisations to support our mission and hold various programs and events throughout the year.
