Family Seeks N4.2m for Andrew's Urgent Spine Surgery

Andrew, a 27-month-old child, is in urgent need of N4.2 million for life-saving spine surgery due to severe neuromuscular scoliosis, which has caused significant curvature of his spine, affecting his breathing and internal organs. His family has made a public appeal for financial assistance, as the surgery is scheduled for November 16, 2026, at the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, Abuja.

Andrew was born prematurely at six months and has faced numerous health challenges, including brain damage and microcephaly. He has spent 20 months in the hospital and experiences persistent pain and difficulty breathing.

The family is seeking donations to cover not only the surgery but also necessary medical interventions such as a customized TLSO brace, X-rays, physiotherapy, and other diagnostic scans. They urge individuals, organizations, and philanthropists to contribute, emphasizing that every donation can help alleviate their financial burden and bring Andrew closer to receiving the required treatment.
