Ekiti Woman Seeks Assistance For N20m Kidney Transplant
EkoHotBlog reports that a woman identified as Omobolanle Ayeni who hails from Ekiti has appealed to individuals and organisations to assist her in raising N20m for a kidney transplant.
In a medical report by the Andrews Healthcare Diagnostic Centre, it was gathered that Ayeni was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. The report indicated that her two kidneys were no longer functioning as they should have since November 2022.
The report dated March 13, 2023, stated further that, “Poor corti-medullary differentiation was seen bilaterally. Medullary cryst was also seen in the right kidney. No evidence of obstructive uropathy is seen bilaterally. No calculus is seen.
“The gall bladder, pancreas, spleen (100mm), and bowel loops appear normal. There were mild to moderate ascites with bilateral pleural effusion. The uterus was not demonstrated in keeping the history of hysterectomy. The urinary bladder is normal in content and wall thickness.”
The hospital, however, gave an estimate of N20m as the cost of the kidney transplant.
Another letter by the Luth Initiative Limited regarding Ayeni’s case, partly read, “The above-named patient (Ayeni) RVD was admitted on January 27, 2023, and was being managed for acute exacerbation of CKD.”
In a letter Ayeni’s family wrote to solicit support on her behalf, they said she had been advised by her doctor to go for a kidney transplant, adding that the recent tests that were carried out indicated that her two kidneys were no longer functioning as normal.
“A kidney transplant as we all know is expensive and she is also not under any medical insurance. Therefore, the responsibility for the expenses has fallen on her family.
“We are asking all friends and family to contribute anything to help in covering the cost of this new treatment. According to her doctor, we need N20m. Anything you can give would be a real blessing.
“Meanwhile, financial support towards Ayeni’s kidney transplant can be sent to her Guaranty Trust bank account number, 0429774589, with Ayeni Esther Omobolanle as the account name and the husband, Olubunmi Ayeni, can be contacted at 08023034199.”
