Short Story
Allex is normally a bright, active, independent and sociable 8 years old boy, forever smiling through thick and thin. However he is currently very unwell, lying in a hospital bed in Luksan’s Hospital, Nigeria for over 2 months now, having been diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). CHD is the most common birth defect in the world. CHDs are present at birth and can affect the structure of a baby’s heart and the way it works. They can affect how blood flows through the heart and out to the rest of the body. CHDs can vary from mild (such as a small hole in the heart) to severe (such as missing or poorly formed parts of the heart).
Given the limitations of the medical system here, Alex is without a plan that can provide him with the necessary assessments and treatment options to address his condition and to provide the nutrition that a teenager needs for their normal development and growth, so that he can get home, thrive again, and have a quality of life that all teenagers deserve.

Campaign Story
Am Josep Edi, my parents diet in a car accident in 2019 and left me with my younger brother Alex who is now ill.
Alex needs your help to urgently access vital health services that are unfortunately not available here in Nigeria. A leading consultant in the UK has agreed to properly assess and treat him on Congenital Heart Disease.
The consultant is demanding for $25,000 before attending to Alex.

Our last resort to get Alex back smiling and eventually home again is to have him treated abroad where there are specialists in CHD. Following much searching and appropriate referrals, we have begun engaging the services of a consultant in the UK who has substantial experience of dealing with many other children with these symptoms and with Alex’s underlying condition, and who really wants to work with him and help him to address his issues. In particular, given the long length of time he has had this issues time is of the essence now to ensure he is fully assessed and treated appropriately
Please help me give Alex his life back
Thanks for your support
