we are getting in touch with his people and looking into national hospital. When we confirm a hospital, we get cheques in the name of the hospital, in the case where the child is to be taken abroad, we get people to write cheques in favor of NTA. from my experience, people give you reasons to doubt them, so we usually deal with the hospitals directly or an organization that is credible.
Platinumuk, you are doing a wonderful job, keep it up. visit www. giplc.org for more information

I get what you mean about people giving you reason to doubt, and preferring to deal directly with the hospitals. Money brings out the worst in people.Are you confirming that you'll take up the boy's case? That would be so good. Donations will simply be made out to the hospital as suggested, and we'll know the actual costs involved.

platinumnk:

How to donate to the hospital, for me thats not easy.
Thats why I opened up the online option so one payment can be sent at once.

platinumnk:

thanks for the great tips

Write a check in favor of NTA? Nigerian Television Authority?

aisha2:

First of all, you get to know the Nigerian Hospital he is being treated, then make a cheque out in favor of the hospital for the treatment, this gives more credibility and protection against scams.This happens if the child is to be treated outside the country and we cannot get cheques in favor of the hospital, we contact NTA who we have a partnership, all cheques will then be written in favor of NTA, when the parents have found a hospital abroad, NTA will make the payment to the hospital, we have had this partnership for years and it has worked against fraud and it helps people sleep better when partng with thier money.
Platinukumvisit our website, there is a number there, you can call it so we could discuss more. Its www.giplc.org

funny. Im going to email Seun once about it, if he doesnt do anything, once the child gets his funding, then that will be the last of Plat on nairaland.

The Boy is recieving treatment t University of NNsuka Teaching Hospital, so preferbale, write a cheque in favor of the hospital. Make sure your money is going to the right place

platnumnk.:

ok I checked it out, its just that I dont write checks.
Strictly cards or paypal.
And I know a lot of people that are the same way as me, so what do we do then?


Oh and oh yeah I was banned. - Spam like message- But I dont see where.

aisha2:

If you collect the money donated, get someone you trust who has an account that can issue third party cheques torite a cheque in favor of the hospital for the said sum. Believe me its more stressful but if you want to help its better to do it right.

aisha2:

Are you overseas Do you have someone you can trust to send the money to here and write a cheque to the hospital and sed it through DHL. Thats what we do. I spoke to the Boys mother, i am a social worker i have been doing this a longer time, i would feel safer apying to the hospital.

TheSeeker:

Aisha, I just placed a call to the boy's mother and she said she'd appreciate if someone around comes to see the situation of things and talk extensively. I know we haven't come up with enough but also, it might be a good idea if someone from your agency can go there to see the boy to discuss some solutions such as one poster said earlier about some specialists at OAU. Let me know what you think,

[size=14pt]^^ I understand, but The funds would be given to the hospital or the mother, not anyone else. [/size]

chosen04:

I really dont get most of the points aisha2 makes. Why will she suggest writing cheque in favour of NTA? With the way she is talking about trying not to be scammed and she claims to be a social worker, she gives one the impression that we that have decided to use Joshua's mom acct to pay our money has been scammed alreay.
I suspect we shld be very CAREFUL of her claim. She is just too interested the money that is yet to be realised.

aysometin:

Seconded!!
Please don't lets change the plans now
Let's stick to what was earlier agreed
I am sorry Aisha but am not convinced!! Social worker in Nigeria I doubt if I ever heard of any or if they are functional!! You can try and raise money where you are as well and send it to the hospital!!
Forget about scam, it might not be! let's just do it

aisha2:

Chosen 04, i understand your concern. Its safer to pay for treatment directly to the hospital. I see stuff everyday. If you want to help its good to be sure dat you are doing d right thing. We have raised over 30million 4 kids. All the money goes directly to the hospital not to us or any individual. This ensures credibility and speedy treatment. Am not saying you guys ve been scamed its just better to be safe to avoid stories.
