A week ago, a heartbreaking story of Mayowa Shukurat Ahmed diagnosed with Stage IV Ovarian cancer went viral.
Mayowa, a graduate of University of Lagos and an HB SS patient incidentally diagnosed with bilateral Ovarian Mass Carcinoma, according to diagnosis result sheet from the Reddington Hospital is 28 years old.
According to family sources, Ahmed, Mayowa Shukura has been a known healthy HBSS patient from her early years and because we detected it early, we have been able to manage her condition very well with mild and in rare cases minor crisis.
She has always been a lively person and was never known to be down for more than a day when she had crisis situation. She went through her education stages without medical issues and graduated from the University of Lagos but after graduation she seemed to have more frequent cases of hospital visits with Ulcer being the diagnosis most times.
Raising $100,000 dollars required to save Mayowa’s life was thus inititaed via her gofundme.com online platform and tweeters equally started to share and spread her plight.
Popular nollywood actress Toyin Aimakhu took it a notch further when she visited the once bubbly lady to cheer her up. Miss Aimakhu on her Instagram page called on well meaning Nigerians to come to Mayowa’s aid.
But despite the biting econmomic crunch, it was heartwarming to learn that within a spate of a few days the 32million naira needed to save the young lady’s live has nearly been raised.
