HELP SAVE SAMAD’S LIFE NOW!

Help save SAMAD’S life now!!!

Samad Obembe is an 8 years old son of Mr. Olamilekan Obembe (my nephew) and Mrs. Abolade Obembe. He was diagnosed 15 months ago of Aplastic anaemia after a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.

He had gone through IV Rabbit Anti-thymocyte globulin and IV Methylprednisolone in September, 2020 with subsequent immunosuppressive therapy using oral cyclosporine without any sign of improvement.

The 8 year old Samad as had several hospital admissions on the account of very severe pancytopenia requiring platelets and red blood cell transfusion.

On the account of this illness, the young boy has suffered many seizures, attacks and has left the entire family looking for several ways to help. His have spent all their life savings to ensure Samad lives.

After several engagements with the specialists at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, amid lots of pain for this young boy, the only solution recommended has been for Samad to have a Bone Marrow Transplant. The oncological treatment before the BMT alone has been estimated to approximately $80,000 aside the cost of transplantation billed at about $200,000 by the Sheba Medical Centre in Israel. This is apart from trans portion, lodging by his parents and other pre and post operation experiences.

This is calling on friends and well meaning sympathizers for support and financial aids to help keep our son alive. We have spent ourselves dry and on a weekly basis, keeping our son alive sees us spending about $500 and as soon as any of his blood components become short, we’ll have to rush him in for transfusion amidst oral bleeding and severe pain

We have decided to ask for help and support publicly for the huge cost of saving SAMAD’s life.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity as you help save our son’s life.
