•16 years after, woman needs N7.5 million to walk again By Tessy Igomu She hid her pains behind a smiling face as she ambled into the newsroom that hot afternoon. As she introduced herself, nothing in her demeanour revealed the pain and uncertainty she battled hard to face. Though the ebullient lady carried herself with so much grace and charisma, it was discovered that beneath this facade lies a heart yearning for help. For 35-year-old Helen Okorocha, life hasn’t been pleasant. In fact, a greater part of her adolescent years had been plagued by pains, misery and tears. As the Ukwuani, Delta State indigene poured out her heart while narrating a heart-rending tale that had caused the death of her mother, Mary, you could not but feel pity for her. Helen’s misery was inflicted on her by an overzealous trailer apprentice that was driving a truck in the Apapa area of Lagos. He had no inkling on how to manoeuvre the long vehicle. In the process, he crushed Helen. Recounting her ordeal, Helen, said she had just turned 19 and was working with a marketing firm in Apapa when the incident occurred. She recalled that as she got to work that fateful day and was about entering the office complex, a truck from nowhere rammed into her and dragged her along the stretch of the road. By the time the truck was finally stopped by an embankment, even with her body still trapped underneath, she was unconscious and had to be rushed to the Lagos Island General Hospital, Marina. Helen recalled that when she regained consciousness days later, her right leg and arm, which had been shattered beyond recognition, were encased in bandages. She disclosed that when the nurses later opened up the bandages to dress the wound, what she saw almost returned her into an unconscious state. “Everyone could see what was left of the bone on my right leg. The only thing holding the shattered bones were strands of loose skin. Even the veins and tendons in that leg were gone. The accident left me demobilized and shattered. I lost faith in ever recovering and walking with the leg because doctors told me the only way for me to survive was to have my leg amputated from the knee,” she said. After spending some days in the hospital, Helen said her mother went to Apapa Police Station, where the matter was reported, but was surprised to learn that the young man as well as the truck had been released without their knowledge. Helen also alleged that the police officers refused to further pursue the case. Her words: “The policemen released the man and the truck without even bothering to contact me or my mother, despite knowing that I was in a very critical condition. Nobody even came to check on me. They later brought N20, 000 and told me that it was all the truck owner gave to them. Meanwhile, daily, my mother spent N4, 500 to have my wounds cleaned and dressed by the nurses. Any day that she couldn’t afford the money, the room would be overtaken by a nauseous odour that would keep other patients and visitors away.” Helen revealed that at a point, she nearly lost her life as the leg became infected with tetanus and later infested by maggots. “On some day, the nurses would hand me a bowl and an instrument to pick out the maggots. When I get tired, my mother would take over. Aside the constant pain that I usually pass through, there were days my mother and I went hungry because there was no money to buy food and nobody to help. This was after she had sold everything she had. Those were the worst days, weeks, months and years of my life,” she recalled with tears rolling down her cheeks. After spending two agonising years in the hospital and undergoing five surgeries, Helen was discharged and left to face a life of uncertainty. She was later dealt a deadly blow with the death of her mother, who all the while was her lifeline. “My mother died of heartbreak. She was so sad to see me suffering the way I was. At a point, she became so sick and there was no money to take care of her. Even at the point of death, she was crying for me.” Helen said that the accident, coupled with her mother’s death, made it impossible for her to move ahead and face other promising life ventures. She admitted losing the will to live at a point but was encouraged by the word of God and by her church members to hold on. Till now, she remains uncertain about the dimension or path her life would take. But despite her condition, she still exhibits strength while speaking about her predicament – strength drawn from the fact that Nigerians, being good natured and good hearted, would help give her a new lease of life. Presently, Helen lives each day in untold pain and agony. She lives on the benevolence of parishioners of St. Charles Catholic Church, Apapa. The only lifeline that can make her survive this excruciating ordeal is an urgent medical intervention. She said she wants to reach out to Nigerians for help during this darkest hour of her life. The distressed lady urgently needs N7.5 million for a crucial ‘Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery’ in India. The money is meant to cover feeding accommodation and other treatment at Sagar Hospital in Banashankari. She is also calling on the governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, to look on her with pity and rescue her from death. Helen, who has not resigned herself to fate by wearing despondency on her face like a cloak, is hopeful that she would still make good use of her right leg to walk and run. She also looks forward to settling with a man of her dream and cuddling her own children. She hopes to get her life back on track after the surgery by also either returning to school or becoming gainfully employed. Helen could be reached on 0818889675. She can also be reached through Mr. Damian Nwabusa on 08035669000 or Geraldine Onyenanu on 08032150006. They are both parishioners of St. Charles Catholic Church, Apapa, that have been nominated to help raise funds for her surgery.
