SAVE JOHN BRIGHT

Bright Akpabio is a 40 yrs old father of two who stays in Ogba, a suburb in Lagos State,Nigeria. He is a young man who is full of life, hardworking and kind. He neither smokes nor drinks and goes about his daily business with lots of hope for a better future for his family. 

But sometimes in May, 2020  tragedy struck. The once lively Mr. Akpabio became sick. He was diagnosed for malaria and typhoid fever based on his symptoms. However,  despite various treatments, his ailments persisted and became severe. He started losing weight, belly protruding among other symptoms. 

He was then taken to the hospital for total check up where he was diagnosed of Lymphoma cancer. This has led to failure of his bone marrow  and liver anomalies. He started bleeding from underneath his skin and was admitted at the Lagos State Teaching Hospital.

His condition has since deteriorated and worsened by his family's inability to foot his treatment bills. Doctors also could not proceed with chemotherapy treatment needed to get Akpabio back on his feet.

Now, Akpabio is a shadow of himself battling his life with hope that he can someday return home to his children and wife.
