Expdonaloaded News: Man with massive lump on his back needs help

A ELB reader sent this in;

Mr. Bemgba Akaayar is a 46 years old peasant farmer who hails from Tombo-Mbalagh, Mbaboor in Binev Council Ward of Buruku Local Government Area of Benue State. He is a diabetic patient who has not even been on drugs for lack of funds. Some ten years ago, he started experiencing an itch between his shoulders, on his back which soon developed into a boil, and as a peasant all he could do was administer local herbs on it, all to no avail.

 The boil eventually degenerated into a large tumor-like hump on poor Mr. Akaayar's back with attendant inflammation and laceration on the head of the hump. His family members, who are themselves peasants as well, watched the victim of this strange ailment helplessly without any financial capability to do anything about his condition, until a kind-hearted woman brought him to Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi sometime in April 2014 to seek medical attention for the ailment for the first time. But there too lack of finances was a stumbling block.

According to medical authorities, the sum of N15,000.00 (fifteen thousand naira) will be required for admission deposit at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH), while N35, 000.00 (thirty five thousand naira) will be needed to conduct a CT Scan on the growth, preparatory to surgery, the cost of which is yet to be determined as well as cost of drugs for the victim.

Donations are therefore, needed from kind-hearted Nigerians to help facilitate a medical solution to the plight of this helpless peasant farmer who has carried the burden of this strange ailment for over ten years now.
