By FLORENCE AMAGIYA

FRanklin Uche Onuoha, a patient with  End Stage Kidney Failure, ESKF, to remain alive, he ugently needs N3.5 million to undergo kidney transplant in India.
Franklin, a graduate of International Relations from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, and his family are appealing to well meaning Nigerians to save his life.

The 35 year old unemployed graduate  who resides at N0. 7, Nise Street, Olodi Apapa, Lagos went into a coma on November 8, 2013 and was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
Ever since, his condition has worsened. even though he has gone for dialysis in different hospitals, his condtion has not improved.

His family has gone from hosptal to hospital searching or permanent solution but doctors say his only hope for survival is to undergo kidney transplant. Now, he is completely bed ridden and unable to fend for himself.  Even though,  he is ready to undergo this surgery, the main problem now is that he  or his family cannot raise the required sum which is estimated at N3.5 million.   He appealled to Nigerians to help him get back to his feet.

His Septuagenarian father, Vincent Onuoha also said that while most families were celebrating last Christmas with fun fare, his family was running from one person to another for assistance.  “We got some assistance from St. Vincent De Paul Society of St. Vincent’s Catholic Church, Olodi. With this we were able to do this dialysis.”
The doctors actually advised that the  transplant should be done as soon as possible.
