We are using this medium, as part of our Social Cooperate Responsibility, in appealing to the general public for assistance to pay medical bills of SADIQ ABUBAKAR who was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and needs a kidney transplant, dialysis, tap sessions and drugs.

Doctors diagnosed him with chronic kidney disease. Since then Sadiq has been living with his new reality and his health has quickly deteriorated.

At the moment Sadiq needs 12 dialysis sessions a month, however, he has not been able to keep up with this due to a lack of funds. As well as dialysis, he needs 2 tap sessions a month where excess water is removed from his stomach.

He has spent over N500, 000 so far on dialysis and other various medical care and he is still in need of a lot more funds. Initially the doctor was optimistic about his prognosis and was convinced his kidneys could be revived, however now the situation has become dire and the only long term solution is a kidney transplant which is estimated at around N9 million.

Despite his condition Sadiq is still trying to live a normal life, coming to work every day with as much positive energy as he can muster.

We are appealing to the general public to please donate anything possible. We have attached Sadiqs medical report, where a breakdown of all his bills is available. In total Sadiq needs about N9,716,000 which would cover the cost of the transplant, dialysis, tap sessions and drugs needed, so please kindly support and donate any amount possible. Please and please help us #SaveSadiq

If you require more details or proof, you can contact Dr. Benjamin Oyime 08035880907 (Katameya First Call Hospitals Limited).
