A third-year medical student, Olaoluwa Oyinde Oluwamuyiwa, who is down with renal failure has appealed to loving Nigerians to help save his life.

Oluwamuyiwa, 28, hails from Ondo State from a family of four.

“Dr Lulu”, as he is fondly called, began to experience difficulties in pursuit of his childhood dream to become a medical doctor in 2000 when his father lost his job. Shortly after, he had a ghastly accident that made him unconscious for several months. He has been unable to fully use his legs well till date.

Undeterred by the challenge, Lulu travelled to Ukraine to study medicine but had to abandon the study owing to financial difficulty.

But refusing to give up on his dream, he went to China after some years to study medicine again.

He now faces a major challenge as he is suffering from renal failure. He is currently undergoing dialysis pending the time he will be able to raise the N7 million required for Kidney transplant.

His family is appealing for assistance from good spirited Nigerians and corporate organizations. He undergoes three dialysis sessions every week at the cost of N60, 000 with the help of friends and family families.
