Help Mr. Effiong get surgery!

Hello my name is Empress. I am a friend of the Effiong family. Mr. Effiong is a farmer and he has been struggling with a hernia for some years now. He lives in a rural village in Nigeria and mostly trades food from his farm to support himself. He is in dire need of surgery. His hernia has expanded and is now debilitating and keeping him from providence for himself. Please help with anything you can! Our American money goes a very long way in Nigeria.
