Prisca Udochukwu, a Higher National Diploma (HND) student at Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech) in Lagos State, is urgently seeking N30 million to undergo a kidney transplant to save her life. The aspiring engineer, whose education has been halted by chronic kidney disease, has appealed to kind-hearted Nigerians for financial support to help her resume her studies and achieve her dreams.
Udochukwu’s health challenges began in December 2024, when she was diagnosed with kidney disease, rendering her unable to return to class. The condition has since worsened, requiring a transplant to restore her health. Speaking to Hallmark News, she expressed her determination to survive, stating, “I am appealing for support to fund a kidney transplant so I can resume my studies and fulfill my dream of becoming an engineer.”
The N30 million is needed to cover the cost of the transplant surgery, hospital admission, medications, and post-operative care. Udochukwu’s family has exhausted their resources on her treatment, leaving her reliant on public generosity. Her plight has sparked an outpouring of sympathy, with calls for donations to help her reclaim her future.
Donations can be made to FCMB Account Number: 1030595893, Account Name: Udochukwu Prisca Nneka. For further inquiries or to offer support, Udochukwu can be reached at +234 814 419 1267.
Yabatech, known as Nigeria’s premier polytechnic, has not issued an official statement on the matter, but the student’s appeal has gained traction on social media, with posts on X amplifying her call for help.
As Udochukwu battles for her life, her story serves as a reminder of the resilience of young Nigerians and the power of collective support in times of crisis.
