<div>My name is Oyeyemi, and I am organising this fundraiser for my friend Chioma, who lives in Nigeria.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Chioma has lived with Blount’s disease and malalignment syndrome since childhood and now urgently needs a final corrective surgery on her knees. Because GoFundMe does not support direct withdrawals to Nigeria, I will receive the funds into my UK bank account and transfer 100% of the donations (minus platform/transfer fees) to Chioma for her treatment and recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will share regular updates here, including proof of transfers and hospital payments, so donors can see how their support is being used.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Below is Chioma’s story in her own words.

<div><strong>Chioma’s story</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Chioma, and I have lived with Blount’s disease and malalignment syndrome since childhood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Growing up, my legs developed abnormally. Walking was painful and difficult, and simple things like standing for long periods or moving around confidently were a daily struggle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At age 7, I had my first surgery. It helped a little, but the correction was not complete. At 15, I went through a second surgery. Again, it improved things partially, but the underlying problem was never fully resolved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For many years, I have managed the pain, discomfort, and limitations as best as I could, hoping I would not have to return to the operating room. Recently, my doctors confirmed that I now need a final corrective surgery to properly realign my legs, stabilise my knees, and stop the progression of the condition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This surgery is not just about walking properly. It is about living without daily pain, restoring my mobility, and regaining the confidence I have slowly lost over the years. I want to be able to stand, walk, and move without fear, embarrassment, or constant discomfort.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising funds to cover the cost of this final, life-changing surgery, as well as the hospital stay, tests, medications, and rehabilitation that will follow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to a healthy future. If you are unable to give, please help by sharing this with others who may be able to support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading my story and for standing with me in this journey to healing.

<div><strong>Accountability</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds raised will be used for:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Hospital and surgical fees.
</li>
<li>Pre-surgery tests and imaging.
</li>
<li>Post-surgery care, physiotherapy, and medications.
</li>
<li>Essential recovery support (transport, follow-up visits, etc.)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because Chioma is based in Nigeria, funds will first be paid into my UK account (as required by GoFundMe), then transferred to her in Nigeria. I will post updates and screenshots of each transfer here, along with reports on her progress and recovery.
