| Baby Omobolaji in Hospital |
Five-month-old, Omobolaji Akinkunmi, has
been diagnosed with a hole-in-the-heart and desperately needs to undergo
surgery at
Narayana Health Hospital in India.
According to her medical report by
doctors at the Lagos State University Hospital where she is currently
receiving treatment, Omobolaji has Truncus Arteriosis Type 1, a
condition that can only be managed in India.
The report also states that she would need N3.8m for her treatment, an amount impossible for her parents to raise.
Her mother, Ogooluwa told our
correspondent that she had to take time off her job as a secretary to
allow her take care of her ailing girl while her husband, an engineer,
now spends his entire salary on her hospital bills in LASUTH.
They are calling on well-meaning Nigerians to assist them in raising the funds for the surgery.
“She is not growing at all, in fact she
has lost all the baby weight and she is just five months old. She does
not breathe well and hardly sleeps at night because of the pain. Am
pleading with Nigerians to assist us because we don’t have the money.
“We have been trying to raise the funds but it has been impossible. We need help right now,” she said.
Her mother can be contacted on: 07084991230.
