A friend in need

For the past few days, I've been seeing feeds, tweets and news on social media about an ex student of Bowen who needs financial help to save her from a medical condition.
Her name is Lulu Egbunike, she works with Etisalat Call Centre, she's  been diagnosed with recurrent Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which is a form of cancer of the blood. She is currently receiving treatment in Nigeria but needs to be flown to India for urgent medical treatment. Statistics have shown that over 80% of patients diagnosed with this disease are cured if they receive the right treatment on time. We believe that with our collective donations, we  will be giving  Lulu a chance to fight this disease. She is young,bright, always full of life and smiles with so much to offer. The sum of $22, 299.14 ( N3,645,909.39 @$163.5) is needed for her medical bills and travels.
I believe with the help of the school, we (students) can all help raise a reasonable amount of the total cash needed, this is a kind of tap on the bbsf exco's shoulder to make sure the chaplains looks into this case and see if we can make a special offering in chapel for at least a week, I believe the amount raised will help Lulu out of this condition.
Excos, the move is ours now.........
