Hello @ Salsera,

Many thanks for checking up on us as per the fundraising.

Yes, the fundraising is actually very ongoing as per mentioned in the mail thread.

Apologies for not responding aftera few days.

I havent been able to access internet regularly and also, there was a bit of minor setbackwith baby when he had an infection (being treated already- was informed that infections are likely to occur with prolonged stay on ventilator)

Presently, efforts have been on ensuring his weight is worked upon and he has been on some diets placed by a dietician.

This will also support his faster recovery.

Many regards,


Jeph

Dear friends,
This is Jeph Ighodaro, Brian's dad!
I had to come online, at least to give a face to this race.
I will begin by thanking the many who have believed in Brian's ability to go through this. And also, say that I understand quite well the many who had doubts about this.
For one reason, I shouldn't have had a need to come online to raise funds, especially because I work. But sometimes, life throws at us impromptu anxieties that we can hardly grapple with.
I registered on nairaland many years ago, and not until today, I decided to come online, perhaps to understudy how it works. Most importantly, to thank everyone as we are wrapping up on plans to help sort out the surgery.
Its not a day to write a lot for me, because I do not want to sound very disbelieving about what I have read through the pages here. Olu had requested for a video, albeit, I reluctantly shared same. I want to specially thank him for helping me in this course. I understand that supporters want to be sure, and rightly so, because I run an NGO (http://defenceforchildren.org/dci-worldwide/dci-africa/nigeria.html) on the side whilst working, so I know what that means.
But I wasn't in favor of having videos to be watched throughout the earth, with intention to seek beyond the needful.
A group member had mentioned that I should have been more involved. I will simply reply that there can be no more involvement than being so emotionally traumatized watching a child, one out of two, with the intent of trying to save it! But be assured that I am working on this and have not relented, because if I had to relent, we would never have reached the extent to which we have.
Remember that when we honestly ask ourselves which people mean most to us, we often find out that it is not those who offer advice or solutions, but those who have rather touched our pains with a gentle hand. The ones who face with us, the reality of our powerlessness.
This is the one who cares, and that is what I have seen with the group here.
I want to thank you. And I will try to be more frequent here, so I can share updates as the days parade by. In the new week, we are making plans to make the trip, earnestly.
I want to specially thank everyone who have supported us, the many who will support the course, and the few who would have wanted to, but haven't been able to due to circumstances that are beyond control, to those who sent in their widows might, especially students and corp members who humbled me and helped me to see that what one gives, he gets in return, I am most grateful.
Sustainably yours,
Jeph Ighodaro

Thank You for coming around and so sorry for what your son is going through. God will see you through

I am happy you run an NGO hence you should know how our field works. People take undue advantage of others sometimes hence the skepticism.

I worked with a boy with cancer once. Got him surgery, his mother was dead and his father wanted to have nothing to do with him. Me and a Nurse became his parents, the Nurse got clothes from her son and would always ensure he had food. I got half of the money for the surgery the Doctor paid the second half and from his research supplies gave the boy needed drugs. He got well and had no where to go. I begged an orphanage to take him in while paying for his keep. A month later he stole some very expensive items and ran away. I had to pay, this was 100s of thousands. That was painful but it didnt make me stop helping but made me wiser in dealing with others. The nurses, doctor and everyone cried when they heard what he had done because we all invested so much in him.

The point is people at one point or the other may have been defrauded while trying to helpn hence they need to be careful.
