Life-Saving Surgery for Oghale Eheri

In October 2018, I was diagnosed with scoliosis of the spine (an abnormal cerebral curvature of the spine). We found out after my mum started noticing my shoulders were off balance when I bent over and the incessant pains I had from my back and hands. I was in the boarding school as at that time so I was given an exeat to go home for a proper medical check up. It was at the hospital the doctor diagnosed I had scoliosis. And that it can only be managed with braces, then later corrected with a surgery. So, ever since October 2018 up till now I have been managing this illness with braces and drugs and regular medical appointments to the hospital which has not been easy. I have had to be on strong pain killers because of the severe pains, and this has made me develop ulcers in my stomach. I can’t continue like this! It has also knocked down my mental health and confidence because I had to go around with a special chair which made me feel different from my friends, and on several occasions, I’ve been humiliated by some teachers in school because of the kind of dressing I have to put on to conceal the braces that I have on and the curvature of my back. My relationship with friends has been affected because no one wants to be friends with the girl who has something swollen on her back. I'm appealing for donations towards my surgery which costs 10 million Naira. Because my mum is a single mom, she can no longer foot the bills as all the proceeds from her business have gone into my medical expenses. The curve of my back has increased significantly and one of my shoulders is now higher than when we first found out. It's becoming more life threatening, the pains from my back and my knees are so excruciating and this has created an imbalance in my posture. Friends and family have banded together to help relieve this financial burden but it has become too much for them to bear and it is beyond us. Please I am asking for your contributions to my cause, a donation of any amount will make a difference and would mean a lot to me. I want to be able to live a life free of pains and I want to fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse and a super star model. I can't do this without your help please donate to my donation account. God bless you Oghale Eheri
