Sister holy Mary Ama, is that how your mind deduced this story. God bless you Yvonne. Great minds think big. Just saying
God replenish Yvonne & her siblings for this great gesture. Boi oh Boi her boobs are on point. There you go Yvonne, you always steal the spotlight But on a more serious note these young mothers need serious help to be able to support themselves & kids.
God bless you and your sisters very much. This is what is expected from all of us that can give a helping hand to the needy our society. But I would have thought you could have made it without the cameras. God bless you.
Have you ever bought a toothpick for your neighbor?? Instead of encouraging her, you are there typing rubbi3h. Skin pain! Congrats Yvonne, may Allah bless you abundantly!
God bless you sis. This is what we need; not expensive no good for nothing wedding.
God bless u
Eiii Ama, why the hate. She has good boobs and there is nothing wrong with the way she presented it. This is my most admired celebrity. I normally find it very hard to find beauty in celebrities, models and beauty contestants. I just like simple beauty. However Yvonne's beauty is the only exception to this rule.
Well done, Yvonne. Keep it up.
see how ur little sister is well covered up. and u expose ur boobs like that. smh
