A Nigerian mother, who has been raising her daughter alone, is pleading for financial assistance to save her daughter’s life. Miss Deborah Soetan, a 14-year-old girl, has been suffering from Idiopathic Scoliosis for over nine years, which has caused progressive worsening back deformation and pain localized to the lower back and right part of her chest. The only hope for her now is to raise N20 million before the first week of August to undergo an operation.

The mother, whose contact is 08162368487, has appealed to Nigerians at home and abroad for help. She expressed her desperation, stating that her daughter’s father abandoned them years ago, and she has no one else to turn to. The operation is the only hope for her daughter’s survival, and she is begging for assistance to save her daughter’s life.
