Please Help Akinola with an Urgent Spinal Surgery

The son of a dear friend of mine, Akinola Ayodeji Philip, in Lagos has been suffering from a severe pain in his legs and back for several months that has not improved and caused him to not be able to walk properly. After numerous medical tests and scans, it was found that multiple areas of his upper spine have degenerated and the only solution is a spinal surgery.  He has not been able to work during these months because the pain has not allowed him walk, sit, or stand properly, so we are graciously asking for donations in order to pay for his procedure so that he is able to recover from this condition that has affected him. The total cost of this procedure is 4 million Naira which converts to about $10,000 USD. We are believing and trusting in God to heal him and provide him with knowledgeable and skilled doctors to see him through this process. Thank you and God bless!

**Akinola's Access Bank account number in Nigeria is 0096344889 for those who would prefer to donate that way. Thank you!

My name is Akinola Ayodeji Philip, I hail from Ilupeju Ekiti in Oye Local Government Area Council of Ekiti State precisely and my maternal home is from the Ero dynasty, Irubi Quarters, Iyaro, Benin City of Oredo Local Government, Edo State...

For months now, it's rather unfortunate that I have been suffering from a severe backache. Initially, I thought it was something not too serious and would go away (or so I thought) until it became more serious. I visited the hospital several times and was subjected to several scans, x- rays, CT scan, MRI Scan etc.... I have spent all I had trying to get a cure for my legs as I could no longer carry them. I eventually visited another specialist hospital called GENESIS in GRA, Ikeja, Lagos State and I was diagnosed of a broken spine as I could no longer sit or stand upright. The doctor gave an option of a surgery which would require the sum of 4 million naira. No amount is too small as your contribution will go a long way to get me back on my feet again. Am still at my prime at 44years of age, I refused to be bedridden and be a problem to myself, family and the society at large. Thank you and may Almighty God bless you as you come to my aid in Jesus mighty name Amen.
