Kehinde needs N60,000 to fight cancer

It started as a boil on the upper part of her eyes, and as widely treated, her mother, Mrs Adesewa Oke,applied vaseline to soften the pus-filled abssess on the skin, thinking that in a matter of days, with regular application of the petroleum jelly, the boil would dry up and eight-year Kehinde would be relieved of the pain. Little did she know that the small boil would grow into a cancerous tissue burlging out of her daughter’s eye.

According to Mrs Adesewa Oke, Kehinde was leading a normal, promising life until April 2014, when she was diagnosed of abnormal external gerutalia (eye cancer) by Dr Adetunji  Lagunju, at the University Teaching Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, after all efforts to treat a boil on the upper part her eye proved abortive.

‘’At UCH, we were told Kehinde will have to undergo an eye surgery which would cost N60,000.I have been unable to raise the money since then.I had spent all my savings on treatments, but those were just to give her temporary relief. My daughter is going through a lot of pains. I need the assistance of well meaning Nigerians for her to undergo the surgery,’’ Mrs Oke said in tears.

Also speaking, little Kehinde appealed to well meaning Nigerians to save her life and come to her aid by assisting her mother to raise to money for the surgery.

Her words: ‘’Ara nni mi (I am in pains),’’as appealed for assistance.
Mrs Oke, who said she had been sent out of her matrimonial home because of her daughter’s ailment, begged Nigerians to come to her aid to raise N60,000 for her daughter’s eye surgery.
