Tega Omofurieta is a 19years old boy from Emevor in Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta state.

Tega took ill last year and was diagnosed recently this year, February 2013 to be precise, at the Delta State University Teaching hospital, Oghara of Chronic Kidney Disease (Chronic Glomerulonephritis) meaning his two Kidneys are no longer functioning.

He has been living on Dialysis since then, but the Doctors have advice that he needs to go for an urgent Kidney Transplant in India to save his life.

The mother, Mrs Roseline Omofurieta has closed down her business because of this illness and presently is on debt row, so as to pay for the dialysis at least once every week instead of three times a week prescribed by the Doctors

For the past months, Tega cannot pass out urine, he can't eat what others are eating and can't even lie down to sleep.

Siena: Oh, I forgot to ask - are there any potential kidney donors yet?

Yes, his elder brother has volunteer to donate, the major problem now is funding.

Siena: How sad, no one should have to suffer this much, in this day and age.

I'm all for helping out, I would suggest you approach TeHN, for a broader, better managed appeal. They can also take responsibility of the fundraising which will undoubtedly be required.

Moderator/s, any chance of getting this on the Front Page?
