Adenike
Tori News has come across the story of Adenike, an amputee student
of Ibadan Polytechnic as shared by Twitter user, Awa Ti Ibadan.
She lost her leg at the age of 5 due to serious medical
complications and this never deterred her from chasing her dreams in
life.
Efforts are being made on social media to solicit for funds to make
life better for the promising damsel whose good behaviour has been
attested to by her friends and coursemates.
Read her story:
"As a toddler, Adenike's legs began to rot away. At age 5, her
two legs were amputated in order to save her life. My friend
@ayaworanho3d did a documentary on Adenike's story. It was nominated for
the best documentary at the AMVCA 2018.
Despite her state & paucity of funds, she chose to go to
school, believing her condition will not stop her from having an
education. Today she's a student of the Polytechnic of Ibadan. Adenike
is a cheerful girl, always smiling & full of life despite
everything.
The current prosthetics which she uses no longer functions. She
has outgrown the prosthetics, making it difficult for her to move
around without human support.
If you know any organization that supports amputees or foundations that can help provide funds (or prosthetics) PLEASE
Help mention them on this tweet. If you can help make
recommendations to individuals that can help Adenike get new prosthetics
& a new life again, PLS help.
PS: Adenike did not demand this but my heart really wishes to gives this a shot for her. A new prosthetics for Christmas."
