Bronx Family Grateful For Educational & Home Furnishing Support
Sonia Gayle and her husband, Kubblla Waliyaya, want their teenage sons and their granddaughter to have one thing on their minds: getting an education.
“Knowledge is power,” Ms. Gayle, 56, said at the family’s home in the Bronx.
Everywhere in the living room are items to nurture young minds.
Self-help and educational books sit in a towering stack on the dining table next to the place mats with a map of the United States, meant to teach the children about geography.
On a wall, along with family photos, is a colorful handmade poster with the alphabet in upper and lower case, for her to practice with her granddaughter, Davion Smith, 6.
