Ebola survivor MPH fund
Donation protected
My name is Lina Moses and I'm a professor at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. From 2014-2015, I was a responder in the worst Ebola epidemic ever seen, and continue to work with Ebola survivors in Sierra Leone. Last year, I met a remarkable Nigerian physician, Adaora (Igonoh) Okoli, who treated with first Ebola patient in her country and contracted it herself. She survived, due to the courage and support of her family and friends who never gave up hope.
Committed to ensuring this kind of disaster never occurs again, Ada became an activist and used her experience to raise awareness of what was happening in West Africa. She was featured in the Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, NPR, and Bill Gates blog. She and I were also in a documentary on emerging disease threats called Spillover. After the epidemic was declared over by the World Health Organisation, Ada devoted herself to disease prevention and outbreak control, enrolling at Tulane for a MPH in Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases and this is where I was lucky to meet and become friends with her. Her current GPA is 3.83 and she is excelling in all her courses.
Ada has had a major setback with her sponsorship due to many reasons including the economic recession that is hitting Nigeria hard. I'm setting up this Go Fund Me campaign to cover her tuition and housing expenses so she can complete her degree. She has one semester left and needs assistance to cover tuition costs for Spring 2017 and Fall 2017. I will deposite all money received from this GoFundMe campaign directly to Tulane's accounts payable to cover her tuition and housing. She will do good in this world and will have a positive impact on countless in Nigeria and across West Africa. Can you please help?
