Helping Nicaro to Eat Again

Hello everyone,

My name is Nicaro Coke. I'm 24 years old and I’m reaching out to you with a humble heart as I continue to face one of the most challenging times in my life. For the past seven months, I’ve been battling the inability to swallow. I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal Strictures which have caused my oesophagus/swallowing tube to be completely sealed off preventing food or drink from going down to the stomach.

This has turned my world upside down.

Daily life has become a struggle, and I’ve had to step away from the work and passions that once brought me so much joy.

Despite the pain, uncertainty and gaps in my nutrition, I’m holding onto hope. After countless procedures, surgeries and treatments, I have not yet been able to overcome this.

I’m scheduled for nutritional treatment that offers the possibility of undergoing surgery that may provide recovery and a fresh start. While I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity, the journey comes with significant financial challenges.

The medical bills, pre-and post-surgery care, and ongoing treatments have quickly added up, creating a financial burden that I cannot manage alone. Additionally, I’ve had to take time away from work to focus on my health, which has only increased the strain.

That’s why I’m asking for your support. I’ve created this GoFundMe to help cover the costs of hospital bills, medication, travelling expenses, blood work, and nutritional supplements. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a world of difference and bring me closer to reclaiming my life and independence.

Your generosity will go directly towards:

• Surgery expenses

• Post-surgery rehabilitation and therapy

• Day-to-day living expenses during recovery

You may also contribute via direct banking. You may contact me for the banking details.

If you’re unable to contribute financially, your prayers, positive thoughts, and words of encouragement mean just as much to me. Please also consider sharing this campaign with your friends and family—it would mean the world to me to have your help spreading the word.

I know this is a challenging time for many, and asking for help is never easy, but I’m choosing to trust in the kindness and compassion of those around me. Your support will not only help me recover physically but will also remind me of the strength found in community and connection.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for considering being a part of my healing journey. Together, we can overcome this challenge and move towards a brighter future.

With gratitude,

Nick
