A Final year student of the Federal University of
Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) Miss Love
Fericsope Ologun, 21, has been diagnosed with
chronic kidney disease.
She needs N12million to undergo a kidney
transplant.
Her mother, Mrs Funmilayo Ologun, said Love
had not been very healthy since she was a child.
She was always falling sick. However, after the
age of three, she didn’t fall sick for while until
she got into secondary school.
“She has always been in and off the hospital
bed, but after she was three, she became more
stable. She was stable till she got into secondary
school.They kept calling us, almost every month
that we should come and take care of her
because she has been admitted.The doctors
don’t really tell me what was wrong anytime I go
to the hospital.The doctors treat, talk to her and
tell me to make sure she uses her drugs every
day,’’ her mother said.
Immediately after secondary school, Love
secured admission into FUNAAB to study
Business Administration. During her second
semester examination for 300 Level last
October, she only managed to sit for her exams.
She was admitted to the Federal Medical Centre
(FMC), Abeokuta, where she had been receiving
treatment before. At the hospital, Love had three
sessions of dialysis and was later discharged in
November.
About two weeks later, Love was admitted again.
’’When she was admitted, we had already given
up hope; but thank God for prayers. Her friends
also came over and donated blood for her. Later,
the doctor told us that the dialysis machine was
not functioning well, and referred us to Olabisi
Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH),
Sagamu.
“On our way to the hospital in December, she
collapsed at the gate of OOUTH. I was so
scared, I was just shouting. We took her to the
Emergency Ward and she was stabilised. It was
there the doctor that told us she needs kidney
transplant and that we would need between
N8million and N12million for it.The doctor told us
not to be quiet about our situation to speak up
so that well-meaning Nigerians could help us and
save Love’s life ,’’ Mrs Ologun added.
The mother said anyone who wanted to help
Love could contact them via 08037128147 or
08038507433.
Donation could also be sent to Ologun Love
Ferisope’s Guaranty Trust Bank(GTBank)
Account Number 0142237435, she added.
