"My baby was born prematurely at the time I bumped into him. When I told him this, he decided to give me his number, saying I should never hesitate to ask him anything if I'm in need," she began the narration.

The woman revealed that she was financially struggling at the time because she was taking care of the expensive hospital bills of her baby alone, as the child's father had left her.

"I was in a tight spot financially because my husband had left me with my newborn baby, so I was even struggling to make enough money to make ends meet. Atsu gave me 250 Euros every two weeks for 3 years, making a total of 19,500 Euros and then assisted me in going to school in order to get my passport," she said.
