Maryam Adaeze Musa, a 24-year-old 400-level English student of the National Open University of Nigeria , has appealed to Nigerians, philanthropists, and organisations for financial assistance to fund an urgent kidney transplant costing N12m.Currently, she is undergoing dialysis every three days at the cost of N45,000 per session including the cost of drugs.
Maryam’s health challenges began when she was only 10, having been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes also known as juvenile-onset diabetes. She managed the condition until 2019 when her kidney functions failed completely. At age 13, she lost her father and her widowed mother, Nneka Musa, a petty trader, has been unable to raise money for the urgently required kidney transplant to keep her alive.
“The ordeal Maryam faces as a result of kidney failure is much; she contends with excruciating pain often, prompting her to be in and out of hospital frequently.
Allah baki lafiya Amin..
