Baby Kelechi (now 1 year and 3months) was only about two weeks old when his parent noticed some changes in him which included fast breathing, sleepless nights and frequent fatigue amongst other things. He had problem ingesting food and had to be fed through his nose. Hospitals they visited gave several diagnosis which included Malaria, Fever and related ailments until they were referred to LUTH. On the 21st of October 2011, the result of the diagnosis revealed that Kelechi had a grade 3/6 Systolic Murmur. Simpler terms describes it as an unusual noise in the heart commonly known as a hole in the heart.
He's got some sort of paralysis on his left hand and finds it difficult to stand. Doctor's says he might get brain damaged if he doesn't get treatment as soon as possible.
He needs N4 million for surgery in India. Please go on his website to see how you can help...

DeleteSMH religion will be the beginning of the end of this world
Linda hi, sorry if this creates more work for you but is it safe to assume that you have verified this story and website before we contribute?
ReplyDeletePls Linda,do try n see if u can contact Chief Igbinedion;am sure this is a more worthy venture than buying how many billion naira car for his first lady...naija na wa!all they know is show-off!one oil worker can comfortably write off this bill for this poor child n his parents but no,they will not,they wud rather be busy doin destination weddings,buying bb porshe,cars that wud be stolen etc...God will intervene for this boy...let me go n give my own widow's mite.

ReplyDeleteIdiot!!to think u still hv d conscience to advertise ur ☎ on a seerious issue..
ReplyDeleteAll these musicians/artists showed step in instead of pending money lavishly on material things; money they got from we, the fans e.g these p-square guys buying private jets or even this davido guy, posing with money and the cheque for N10 million (change) he got for doing nothing.

ReplyDeletePls I fink dey shud drop an acc no. Even if tz #200 that everybody can afford to drop, it will go a long way in helping this boy.
ReplyDeleteNow you all see why I maintained that the UK is a million times better than naija, how can an innocent little citizen of a country with oil not be afforded free treatment with an ailment like this, instead your leaders are hustling over bribes in dollars, over flash cars.... I weep for naija oh..... they are going to sweep that bribe case under the carpet and still share the money....please those of us in the UK, let's be greatful for the 1st class free medicals we get and also let's try and donate to help this little cute boy...please Linda can you also.contact igbinedion who just bought that million dollar car for his wife to donate something no matter what. After you will ask why those people overstayed in the UK
ReplyDeleteGbam!!

ReplyDeleteU all shld stop cursing n hating,tink of ways to hlp,bt if u can't I suggest u jst kip ur mouths shut n pray for d family,its d least we cld do...
ReplyDeleteMy niece was born with a hole in the heart. Doctors in Nigeria referred her to India for a surgery. 5 years later and no surgery, she is hale and hearty without a hole. My daughter was recently diagnosed with a hole in the heart. She is 6 months old and the doctors here(U.S) tell me not to worry that it will close as she grows older. Just sharing my own experience!! May God help this little cutie.
ReplyDeleteKai...buh wtz 4m??If we had Good leaders,it woulda bin so easy to handle...Therez notin God can't handle..I'm sure God wld send sum1 to provide d moni..
ReplyDeleteAs difficult as it is to give a proper diagnosis based on the limited information given, I believe that the 3/6 systolic murmur is not the cause of the near paralysis nor does it have anything to do with brain damage. In my professional opinion, that is alarmist at best. Linda, My advise to you is that you investigate claims properly and even do a little bit of research before posting things like this because fraudsters could capitalize on the generosity of your audience. A simple google check or visit to webmd.com could help you understand the case indicated. Innocent heart murmurs are common in 50% of children. The 3/6 is the loudness of the murmur. All the best.
ReplyDeletedr my foot. Dnt say what may cost u ure license if any. The pathophysiology of this child's brain damage coins from the hole known as patent ductus arteriosus, a congenital heart condition. Since the cir. sys is compromised nutrients become deficient leading to low oxygen tension with resultant tissue hypoxia, enough to damage the brain cells; paralysis due to vit d, c nd ca deficiencies. Get the jerk? Wish i cud revitalize this boy.
DeleteDayum!! Easy peter
DeleteLINDA AV U CNTACTED KANU HEART FOUNDATION?

ReplyDeleteLinda, please verify. I want to donate. I went to the website and the phone number of Kelechi's parents are not there. I really don"t want to contribute. Are you sure this is real? Please reply so that I can contribute on time, as we are told he has just a few days left. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteMy heart is bleeding! God! I wish I had, I would give as much as I can for this little boy. So sad. I wonder what would be running through his parents's minds. Where r d rich people in naija? D one who give bribes enough to pay for this baby's medical bills? Where r they?? They think just about themselves. So sad!
ReplyDeleteCHI
my heart bleeds reading this story.why on earth cant we have qualified surgeons in Nigeria who can handle such situations instead to taking our hard earned money to other countries for more expensive medical care?
ReplyDeletei really wish this lovely child all the best and hope the money is gathered on time to save his life.

ReplyDeletewith as little as hundred naira will can contribute in saving this young boy's life. Let give generously and don't wait for the government.

Why not reach out to celebrities. You ask them if they can match what your readers contribute instead of just aiming at the readers only. Just saying. The operation required is not a difficult one as I have a nephew who went through this, it requires inserting a catheter like a small umbrella which covers the hole. We will do our best for him.
ReplyDeleteIf we αℓℓ donate a thousand naira. Baby kele will b saved. Let's αℓℓ surport in prayers α̲̅πϑ financially. Ure a cutey. Our future president
ReplyDeleteAWWWWW...SO CUTE!...YOU WILL MAKE IT LITTLE ANGEL BOY.
ReplyDeleteLinda, have you tried KANU Heart Foundation? Am sure they would be of great help cos that is their core calling.
ReplyDeleteif the parents can attend any of the healing school sessions in Christ Embassy, Lagos, it will be totally worth it cause their miracle is sure.I've heard many testimonies from people who have attended.registration is free and they will be well taken care of. rather make money and man ist point of contact for treatment, let them make God, their ist and of course their only contact for permanent healing without cost.don't you just agree with me?
ReplyDeleteHello Linda. I belong to a company called Avenues to Wealth and the company has some connections with Medanta hospital in India where members have access to health deals that are insanely cheap including various surgical operations too. You could contact Mr Adeolu Akinyemi, the MD of Avenues to Wealth in Nigeria. Office address is 3rd Floor Oluwatobi House, 73 Allen Avenue, Ikeja Lagos.LINDA, PLEASE DO CONTACT ADEOLU AKINYEMI.

ReplyDeleteVikee
Parents ofthis child if you are readingthis,money or operationis not what you need. Go to Salvation Ministries Port Harcourt - Pastor David Ibiyeomie ORif you are in Lagos run to Canaanland and ask to see any of the pastors or the Bishop himself,or go for the miracle service which is the forth service every Sunday.
ReplyDeleteDo not hesistate.
May God help your understanding to go with this intstruction.
We can all help by giving the little we can.
ReplyDeleteGrade 3/6 systolic murmur is not a diagnosis, it is a symptom. They should go and confirm what the boy's diagnosis is, then they'd be more credible. Does he have tetrallogy of fallot? patent ductus arteriosus, ventriculoseptal defect, etc.... which? They should state exactly what the condition is and then break it down into layman terms.... a systolic murmur could mean many things. And then he's paralysed and can't stand? Sounds more like a syndrome to me. Yes, i am a doctor but i am by no means trying to show off (i'm anonymous, remember?). It's just that for people in the field, like me, we'd like to know more about what we are dealing with here, and then see how we can help. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLittle one..it is WELL with you..Only Your Maker knows why this is happening to you..and He alone can do it..so receive healing in Jesus Mighty Name..Amen! You are Healed..
ReplyDeleteLets help this child. Children are the greatest gift of all
ReplyDelete@ anon 1:37, the western union link can be navigated from: http://www.causefundr.com/causes-kelechi.html.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you as you donate.
I pray he gets help asap.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you just buy a bullet and kill the boy instead of sending him to India. India has nothing better than Nigeria when it comes to health care.
ReplyDeleteMost people on d blog are insensitive.
ReplyDeleteI was listening to an stain excerpt about d Dana crash and the OAP said,most Nigerians always blame the Govt for everything and never think of what they can do in any situation.VERY TRUE!
The fact that we have a defunct govt is making us lazy and always willing to pass the bulk.
Here is a boy that is ill and needs our help and we are here calling Otedola,the govt,igbenedion and his wife's car...many people here drive cars worth more than 4million yet we wait 4 d govt 2 help the suffering in our midst.because we choose to sit back and do nothing,we conveniently push the blame to govt to relieve us from blame and guilt...Agreed! Govt is to be functioning but is this a forum to discuss this?a little boy needs our help,do we stand by and do nothing?the Govt has failed us,they do nothing,yes! But what are u willing to do yourself?
Aunt Linda! Only u sef can donate 4m na *wink* *big smile*
ReplyDeleteFirst, i want to say a huge thanks to Linda for putting this up. In response to a post saying we were advertising our number, people need to know that an actual human is behind this and not a ghost. We've gotten a lot of phone calls and people just need some level of assurance. If you need to see the Baby for some reason, they stay around surulere...just call and we'd fix a meet. I would attach a blog to the site to publish progress on the boy and how we are doing in raising the money. On the site we would also publish names of Donors so keep in touch. Let's forget our government for now and do the little we can, the Kid deserves a life just like the rest of us. #SaveBabyKelechi http://www.causefundr.com
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone

ReplyDeleteOh my this is so sad and depressing.seeing him brings me to tears.how i wish i was rich enof to help.so sad

ReplyDeleteSo adorable. Hope he gets the help he needs. :(
ReplyDeletePlease update contribution info for those who want to help, but are not based in Nigeria. Thank you for your good work, linda
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteHave you verified that this is true? Or you are aiding and abetting a scam (unknowingly)??
***Lush
In addition to my previous comment, I wish that popular blogs/websites such as yours would directly petition government leaders, asking readers to bombard their offices with calls and letters on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteNigerian leaders should be held accountable for the poor state of the country's health care system when situations like this come up instead of asking ordinary Nigerians for help when there is no verification of truth.
***Lush
Firstly,u didn't comment on the news.
ReplyDeleteSecondly,u took advantage of the story to advertise ur blog. And you are here blaming the govt.
But really, how much is N4m? That's 'change' for some peolpe. 1 person is good enough to sponsor this boy. May he find timely help. Amen
ReplyDeleteDear Linda,
ReplyDeleteKindly confirm if this story is true. I really hope its not a scam because I dont want to end up giving my money to people who want to taake advantage of unsuspecting people and milk them. I was about to trasfer money but decided to ask and confirm from you if this is real. If you give the go ahead, then, the donations will start pouring in. Gid bless.
Look at the cutie!. May God see you thru IJN.
ReplyDeletePlease people everything must not be about quarrel and insults or the government as it's obvious they dont care about the people and would rather all the poor people die away.. So this is about whether this story touches you or not. Everyone here can afford 100naira (or more)even beggars on the streets can afford it, which is actually what they asked for..I pray the Blog will be updated so we have updates on this child. Bless
ReplyDeleteGetting to read lots of comments about this cause both the good and slightly bad is 'ok'. Overtime we'd clear the doubts of everybody and get a lot of the missing facts out there. We are meeting with the consultant that handled baby Kelechi's case and would know his full medical history and how to move from here. We have taken into account comments that say that a systolic murmur is just a symptom and those 'hating' india. We are considering professional options and asking the consultants questions. You'd know our progress. We are also going to update the site so please bear with us. God bless you and pray for baby Kelechi.
