An urgent appeal for financial assistance has been made on behalf of Temitope Bassey, a husband, father, brother, friend and colleague who has been battling lupus, an autoimmune disease that has caused complications affecting his liver.
According to an appeal issued by his family and loved ones, Bassey has been undergoing treatment for nearly two years as they continue to seek the medical care needed to manage his condition and prevent further complications.
The family said it had shouldered the financial burden of his treatment through personal contributions and out-of-pocket payments throughout the difficult period.
However, the prolonged medical expenses have significantly depleted their resources, making it increasingly difficult to sustain his care.
Bassey is currently receiving treatment at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), where he requires continued medical attention, prescribed medication and ongoing management of lupus and its associated complications.
Among the medications identified as part of his current care is Ocipal, which his family says is required to support his liver function.
His treatment remains essential to managing his condition and addressing the complications arising from the disease.
With the financial demands of his continued care mounting, the family is seeking to raise ₦17 million (Seventeen Million Naira) to support his ongoing treatment and related medical expenses.
The family has appealed to individuals, organisations, corporate bodies, community groups and well-meaning Nigerians to contribute towards the fundraising effort, stressing that every donation could make a meaningful difference in sustaining his access to medical care.
They expressed hope that the support of compassionate individuals and organisations would help ease the financial burden and give Bassey a better opportunity to continue receiving the treatment he needs.
The family also called on the public to keep him in their thoughts and prayers as he continues his battle against the disease.
Those willing to support the fundraising appeal are encouraged to contact the family or the organisers of the appeal for verified donation details.
