Family appeals for help with mother’s costly kidney transplant
The family of Mrs Opeoluwa Dorcas, a 55-year-old woman, is seeking financial assistance for a life-saving kidney transplant. She has been diagnosed with end-stage renal disease and requires urgent surgery after undergoing more than 50 dialysis sessions. Despite support from friends and their church, the family says their resources are exhausted. They are now appealing to the public and organisations for help to cover the high cost of treatment.
