6-year-old Ezekiel Urgently Needs N4.5m For Heart Surgery

Six-year-old Ezekiel Akinola is in desperate need of N4.5million for a heart repair at Tristate Hospital in Lagos State.

Following his diagnosis in 2020, it became imperative to conduct preoperative evaluation and CT Pulmonary Angiogram and TOF Repair on his heart, the cost of this operation has rendered his family confused and conflicted.

His father said when Ezekiel was five, he had envisioned being an engineer. Speaking to the newsmen, his father, who is a plumber, stated that: “My son is a smart child, he has an intuitive mind and a photographic memory”.

Examinations at Tristate Hospital shows that Ezekiel suffered weight loss due to lack of appetite and excruciating pain as he is unable to stand or walk straight.

His father lamented that, “We’ve exhausted our savings to keep Ezekiel alive, however, it is now critical and the only remedy is the heart repair which costs about N4.5million according to the hospital’s estimation.”

He added, “all my life, I have never earned up to a million naira, this is indeed beyond me, but I know with your help he will live.”

He, therefore, called on good-spirited Nigerians to come to his son’s aid with financial contributions.
