Mother seeks N7m for seven-month-old daughter’s surgery

Esther Ereniyi, mother of a seven-month-old Favour who was diagnosed with a hole in the heart has appealed to well-meaning Nigerians to help save her daughter.

According to a document made available to PUNCH Metro on Tuesday, Favour was diagnosed with the heart condition about three months after her birth on August 6, 2022.

The mother said she discovered Favour’s ailment when she started breathing fast and thereafter rushed her to Isolo General Hospital.

She said, “My daughter was treated for a month before we were referred to Massey Street Children’s Hospital in Victoria Island at the Paediatric Cardiology Unit two months ago.

From there, she was referred to Babcock University Teaching Hospital for heart surgery. That was when they directed us to run a test which revealed that she had a hole in her heart. The doctors, therefore, told us that only heart surgery will erase the defects.”

Esther said the cost of the surgery was estimated at N7m and expected to take place at Babcock University Teaching Hospital or at Tristate Health Care System, Lekki Lagos.

“I am appealing to everyone to help me. I don’t want to lose my daughter. Please, help me. The baby finds it hard to breathe, and he is always in pain due to the multiple holes in his heart. He is in discomfort,” she added.

Donations for Favour’s treatment can be sent to FCMB account, 1002276881 with the account name, Ereniyi Favor.
