Speaking with The Nation on her daughter’s ordeal, Mrs. Victoria Owa said that moved with empathy, they requested that Esther be referred to UITH as they reside in Ilorin.
“She undergoes dialysis twice per week. And for every dialysis and other things we spend over N40,000. We also spend about N21,000 to buy two pints of blood per session for transfusion. For now we cannot give accurate record of what we have expended in monetary terms since the ailment began. But we have spent fortune all in the name of getting her on her feet. My husband is a retired person while I am a petty trader.
Be healed in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
