At a point I was exhausted after spending so much, I said I will stop and just wait for death to come ….but I brazed up for my daughter and have to continue spending the N1.2 million on the medication doze weekly to survive….I have sold my cars, property, capital for business, etc…..and Funke Akindele has been helpful, Toyin Abraham, Mercy Aigbe, and others reached out and have been there…but I still need more support to be able to continue with my medication…”.
Since then, many of her colleagues and fans had shown her love and support even as she battled the sickness.
