To say that I am impressed at the positive response to Funmi Lawal’s case will be a sheer understatement. In about three days, more then the required N4 million for her operation has been raised, and people are still contributing generously. As at wednesday, which happened to be the first day of the week due to Ramadan festivities, Funmi had recorded over N5 million and as a result sent out this message:
I cannot at this moment but
thank everyone who has helped me
by donating.In less than 72hrs after my friends sent
out messages with regards to my
cancer operation,am happy to say that I have received over #5million Naira.
God bless you all!Pls keep me in your prayers.

More than anything I am convinced against all odds that Nigerians are kind and warm hearted people.
Speaking to her brother recently, he says that Funmi has commenced the first stages of treatment in preparation for the operation. This involves conducting various tests some of which might entail minor operations to prepare a comprehensive evaluation report which will then be forwarded to the specialist hospital where the operation will be done.
He says, hopefully by next week, the tests will be concluded, and results sent to the specialists abroad. They in turn will send a medical report and invitation to the embassy, after which Funmi will then travel for her operation.
At this point all we can do to support her is keep her in our prayers.
The work is not done however as there is still Rhythm’s OAP Meka who needs our help.
