<div>Hello, my name is Olubiyi Jibowu , and I’m reaching out to ask for your support as I continue to recover from a life-changing experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In August 2023, I underwent a below-the-knee amputation on my left leg after a sudden and severe infection. What started as a simple burn from hot water during a pedicure escalated quickly. I tried to treat it at home, unaware of how serious the situation would become. I was later diagnosed with diabetes, which slowed the healing process and worsened the infection. By the time I sought proper medical attention, doctors at King’s College Hospital had no choice but to amputate to save my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The journey since then has been both physically and emotionally challenging. I spent weeks in the hospital and rehabilitation centres, learning how to adapt to life with a prosthetic. There were setbacks — including falls that reopened my stitches — but I remained determined not to give up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to the incredible support of my family, friends, and workplace, I’ve made progress. I currently use a prosthetic leg, but it’s heavy, uncomfortable, and limits how far I can walk. The reality is, it makes everyday activities difficult and painful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why I’m asking for help. I’m raising funds for a high-quality titanium prosthetic leg — one that’s lighter, more durable, and would greatly improve my mobility and independence. With the right prosthetic, I believe I can walk more comfortably, return fully to work, and live life without constant pain and fatigue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will go directly toward the cost of this prosthetic and related rehabilitation expenses. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a big difference. If you’re not able to donate, sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated.
</div>
