She began a twice weekly maintenance haemodialysis and has remained on dialysis to date.

Patience requires a kidney transplant which is estimated to cost N8,500,000.

The sum covers the pre-transplant work for donor and recipient, transplant surgery and immediate post-transplant care for donor and recipient.

Patience will also require additional funds for lifelong immunosuppressive therapy to prevent transplant rejection.
