Mrs. Janet Ogbonna, 63, has been diagnosed of cancer of the anus since 2008 at the Federal Medical Center, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Umuahia, Abia State and she needs help as she has allegedly been denied all forms of support since her husband died, more than two decades ago.
Uchechukwu And His Mother, Mrs. Janet Ogbonna
Her son, Uchechukwu has practically dropped out of school to take care of his dying mother. Moreso, the owner of their one-room apartment located on the popular Refinery Road, Effurun in Uvwie Local Government Area, Delta State, had served the family quit notice.
For the past six years, Mrs. ogbonna has not laughed; sorrow has been her companion, as she moved across the country in search of cure for the strange illness which has plagued her.
What is standing between life and death for her is N10.8 million, which is what is required to take her to India for treatment.
Besides the excruciating pain, Mrs. Ogbonna is passing through an offensive odour that oozes out of her room; she can neither walk nor stand straight because of the ailment.
On the ejection notice to the family, Uchechukwu said, “The worst is that we have been given a quit notice to vacate the one-room apartment we are staying in, That has compounded our problem and, you know the people of this area, nobody will allow my mother to pack into his or her compound in that condition. Where do we go from here, Imo State or where?
“Even if we decide to go back to our state, Imo, where do we start from? That is the reason I am calling for help to raise N10.8 million for her treatment in India. We have gone to churches, hospitals but nothing seems to be happening.
“If my mother bounces back to life, I wouldn’t mind packing to anywhere but in her present condition, it is not possible to get a house. I want her to be treated. My mother is still a young woman. I do not want to lose my only surviving parent now; hence I am making this passionate appeal for the public to come to our aid.
“Please we beg the public to come our aid. Please, we beg the public to help us to survive this. Now, the ailment has degenerated from the stage we were referred to India for proper treatment.”
