| Don't let me die.... |
THE Bible tells us that when God sent His Beloved Son to Earth,
it was for the purpose of healing the sick and comfort the weary. It was
also to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, to be friends with the
outcast and redeem those who strayed from righteousness.
Roslyn, a young vibrant lady once loved and admired by her acquaintances has become an object of scorn. She’s despised by friends and rejected by those who should stand by her in times of need.
At 34, the Edo indigene’s dream is crashing right before her eyes and her aspirations are fizzling away by the day. She is appealing to all well-meaning Nigerians to come to her aid. Roselyn urgently needs N16M for surgery to save her from blindness and untimely, death. Her life is threatened by an aggravated eye tumor (Cancer) that could turn her blind permanently.
Though Roselyn Etsemobor’s parents were
not wealthy, she was born happy and well catered for. Like most of her peers, Roselyn looked forward to obtaining the highest educational degree, get a good job and enjoy a blissful marital life blessed with kids. But this might just be an illusion unless something is done quickly to raise the N16m.
Explaining her circumstances, she says: “It started with a mere catarrh. I was having constant catarrh and when it refused to go, I went to Jos Teaching Hospital. I was living in Jos at that time. At the hospital, they conducted several tests but they told me that there was nothing wrong with me. That was in 2001 and they gave me Amoxil drug and other drugs.”
But she relocated to Lagos in 2004 due to the Jos crisis. During the riot, her shop was burnt. In 2005, she says the catarrh stopped. She thought all was well; but in 2006, she woke up one day to notice that the upper side of her right eye was swollen.
“After some days, I went to Ikorodu General Hospital where it was discovered that my left eye was not seeing well. They directed me to Lagos Sate University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, for further tests. At LASUTH, doctors recommended that I go for some tests, but I could not do them because of money,” she laments.
Her case became worse while she was moving from one place to another to raise funds: She was knocked down by a vehicle. The very same spot that was already swollen was bruised in that accident. This aggravated her condition.
“They said with drugs, I could manage it and it would go. When they started the treatment, the swelling in the eye disappeared and I thought I was okay. But it later came back. I went to different doctors and they said there was nothing wrong with the eye.”
But she knew all wasn’t well with her. She later went for another scan and an abnormality was discovered. At LASUTH, she says, she was to do a surgery in November 2009. But that day, the doctor was nowhere to be found. She was told he was on leave. She laments that other doctors at the hospital volunteered to help her but “I noticed they were only using me for experiment.”
She eventually got in touch with some doctors from UT Medical Group Inc., Ophthalmology Department, Hamilton Eye Institute, United States. “I have been communicating with them and they said they can correct the left eye and also do the surgery on the right eye,” she explains. According to UT, “the estimated cost of the test, surgery and other treatments is $100,000 (N16million) and it would be done in America.”
Roslyn has nowhere to go. She lost her father when she was a baby.
“I am the first daughter of my family and we have exhausted all the money we have. I am a fashion designer but I have not been able to go to my shop because it is when you have good health that you can work. Right now, none of my family member is helping me.
“Even my siblings have stayed away from me. One would feel bad when people reject one and despise one. It is so bad that if I want to enter any commercial vehicle, some drivers will not want to carry me. Some won’t even want to sit beside me. It got to a point I started sleeping in the shop.”
So far, sympathizers have helped raise N4million, but she needs N16m to smile again.
