A computer science graduate, Miss Ashiru Adeboye, is in urgent need of N30m to undergo a kidney transplant at the Gbagada General Hospital, Lagos.

Adeboye, who hails from Ogun State, was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in 2023 after months of unexplained health complications.

According to a medical report obtained by PUNCH Metro on Tuesday, signed by a consultant nephrologist at the hospital, Dr. A.A. Busari, the 29-year-old presented with symptoms including high blood pressure, vomiting, coughing, and swelling of the legs, before she was eventually diagnosed with end-stage renal failure.

In a statement sent to our correspondent, her elder sister, Adetutu Ashiru, explained that Adeboye initially complained of ulcer-like symptoms and breathing difficulties.

She, however, stated that several tests conducted at private hospitals failed to detect the problem until a final diagnosis at Gbagada revealed that both kidneys had failed.

?She was always in pain, always tired, but no hospital could tell us exactly what was wrong. Eventually, Gbagada General Hospital confirmed her kidneys had packed up, and dialysis began,? Adetutu said.

She added that the family has since spent over N15m on dialysis and medications, selling off cars, property, and other valuables in a desperate bid to keep her alive.

?We?ve done everything we can as a family. She goes for dialysis regularly. It?s been almost two years, and the cost has drained us completely. We?re now begging for help. Life has become unbearable,? she stated.

Adeboye, who graduated with a degree in Computer Science, had acquired additional tech skills in hopes of securing a job In the federal workforce. But her plans were halted as her health deteriorated.

While expressing her willingness to donate a kidney to her ailing sister, Adetutu added that the family was seeking N30m for the transplant and post-operative care.

She appealed to well-meaning Nigerians, philanthropists, and government agencies to come to their aid and help restore her sister?s life. The donations according to the family can be sent to the FCMB account with the name Ashiru Adeboye Salamot and Account Number, 1030095173. (The PUNCH)
