Hello BN Fam, we received this message from a BellaNaijarian today and what we read and saw really broke our hearts.

I need your help to save Akuwa Adejo, she is a friend and a school mate. We attended Command Secondary School Ipaja Lagos together and she is in serious need for medical attention.

Akuwa has been sick for long time now, and was diagnosed with Umbilical Hernia and Liver Failure. She requires liver transplant as well as umbilical surgery to correct the swelling around her stomach. Her brother has agreed to donate (a part of) his liver, so she will be traveling with him as well as one more person who will look after the two of them after they have been operated on. ‎

The total amount for the expenses is US$55,000; this is inclusive of their accommodation as well as air tickets and travel arrangements. We her friends have been campaigning and raised $14,000+ on the GoFund me site

‎On her last trip to India She was advised that she can’t be cut opened twice for the two surgeries within very short breaks, the doctors advised it’s better to have the two surgeries done at the same time.

‎Akwua has till 15th January 2016 to get these surgeries done. As at the last time she went to India, the doctors told her that her liver is below 5% performance. Truth is, Akuwa has less than 1 month to perform the surgeries for the avoidance of irreversible damages.

Akuwa has also permitted us to share her pictures as well. I have attached her pictures for you to see her condition.

Please help encourage your readers to donate using this link https://www.gofundme.com/m4c5qfa7 .The link is safe and protected. They can also transfer naira to her account.
