Help Samuel get a bone marrow transplant

Donation protected

My name is Ikechi, and I am making this fundraiser for my friend, Samuel Ayinmode.
I've known Samuel since 2018, when we both served at the same place of primary assignment (PPA) during our National Youth Service (NYSC). Since then, we've kept in touch.

I received a message from Samuel in March 2025, informing me that he was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia and was on medication. Samuel had been battling with a shortage of blood since February 2024, which made him go for a blood transfusion every three months, but the condition persisted. The doctors recommended that he go for a bone marrow biopsy test, which he did in October 2024. Unfortunately, based on the test result, he was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia, meaning that his bone marrow could no longer produce the blood cells that his body needed.

Currently, he has been going for a blood transfusion once in three months, in addition to taking medicines. The doctors informed him that the only definite treatment is a bone marrow transplant, which they recommended could be done in India, and will cost between $38,000 - $41,000. According to Samuel, the doctor requires up to N15 million (approximately $9900) to start the treatment. This initial fee is to begin the donor eligibility and compatibility test, as well as prepare Samuel for the transplant.
Unfortunately, his condition is getting worse day by day. He can no longer work, always feels weak, his heartbeat is abnormal, his skin is pale, and he's experiencing bleeding.

Samuel does not have the required funding for the treatment, and he can't work to raise the amount for the bone marrow transplant. I am pleading for your help to assist Samuel in any way that you can, through donations and sharing this message. Your support would be greatly appreciated and would go a long way.

I have attached images of Sam's current state, his medications, and a copy of the biopsy report.

Thank you so much.
