Kechi Okwuchi before after the crash
In order to help her raise money for the surgeries, a Fundraiser dinner is being organized for Kechi. Continue to read more about this miracle girl...
“A devastating plane crash, over 60% intensive burns, up to five weeks in medically-induced coma and over 75 surgeries to date have not hampered the spirit of our friend, Kechi Okwuchi. She may have been terribly disfigured by the accident but Kechi’s determination and hope to achieve her dreams regardless, inspire us each day. We would like to share her story so that it may inspire you too.”
After the crash, Kechi was immediately transfered to South Africa for urgent treatment. Since she had to relearn to perform muscle movements, physical therapy followed when Kechi was in a more stable condition.
A NEW DAWN: FUNDRAISER FOR KECHI OKWUCHI
You are cordially invited to a Fashion Show Dinner Fundraiser, themed, A New Dawn, which would be held on the 30th of July, 2011, in honour of and for the purpose of raising funds for surgeries for our friend and heroine, Kechi Okwuchi.
The event venue is at The Landmark Village, Water Corporation Road, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteWow! Life is miracle we should not be taking for granted.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of i and my friend's favourite comment of TD Jakes.
ReplyDeleteJakes said 'i talk about life dealing you a bad hand,i am nottalking about someone snatched my boyfirned or someone took my parking space in the parking lot.I am talking about life dealing you such a bad hand that you run out of tears.'
After reading this story and seeing these pics i can never complain about not having my dream job, dream bank balance,dream car and even dream sex.Screw dreams!!!
I am already blessed as it is.

ReplyDeleteExactly about the parents being in the lobby at the PH airport and seeing the Sosoliso planes burst into flames. An absolute nightmare.
May we never experience such tradegies again in Nigeria. Amen
But waitooo pls can somebody remind me am not seeing correctly..those figures am seeing at her website..are they in dollars or naira? if they are in dollars and my calculator is not malfunctioning..d money needed is 91 million naira...just for some surgeries!! is that hospital crazy or what? that money can build a complete hospital.
ReplyDeletei wish my tears right now could change a thing.....how could you have gone thru this huge pain and still wear a smile? you must be a superhuman! everyone is willing to do this donation even me, its worth doing.
ReplyDelete@billante,
ReplyDeleteSeriously do you really think that amount in Naira, would even be enough for 1 tiny bit of surgery for anything significant?
God has blessed Kechi and we are all so thankful and this medium is to help ease her recovery and be a part of something mighty that God is doing.
