For the past two years MissDee has held fundraiser events some of which include the "Fashion for Life" fashion show (2011), Sickle Cell Aid Foundation Inaugural Ball (SCAF) in 2010, bake sales and others. Funds raised have been used to supply drugs for people with sickle cell through our help line, and also to pay hospital bills for people living with sickle cell that can't afford it.
This time however, we have a spectacular case at hand. We have a young man aged 30 by the name of Tochukwu Egungwu with a peculiar case. His skin is decaying as a result of dead veins caused by wrong administration of a drug called PENTAZOCINE. His family have exhausted all they have on surgeries. Now he needs a surgery to graft the damaged part of his arms and stitch the skin back, then a vascular surgery on his left leg as he has DVT (deep vein thrombosis).
This surgery will cost him 25,000 US Dollars.
As a result he has been referred to the MissDee Sicklecell Foundation, and as a team which we are - that's you and me - we will again try to help Tochukwu stop the pain by raising as much funds as we can.
~ On SATURDAY, 3RD MARCH, we will be at Designers Marketplace to provide more information and collect funds for this cause.
• 12noon - 7pm • CITY PARK, Wuse 2
~ On SUNDAY, 4TH MARCH, we will be having a talent fundraising show at Grotto Fashion Club, Abuja, feauturing artists including Jesse Jags | Praiz | Iyanya | Kris'D and others! Tochukwu will also be in attendance.
Please come along to meet the remarkable young man, and to support our cause!
