Former Miss Nigeria, Sylvia Nduka funded a little girl’s surgery after doctors found out the child has an infected kidney, and the surgery was successful.
The model took to her Instagram to share the photos of the 8-year-old girl all smiles after the successful surgery.
Doctors had found out that the child has an infected kidney.
She added that Fikayo has been “in pain and has also suffered loss of appetite medically referred to as anorexia.”
But things changed when the former beauty queen met the child, took her to meet professionals who identified what the problem was.
Read her full writeup below:
“Surgery was successful, glory be to God.
I met this little Angel, named Fikayo. She’s 8 years old and her mother is a nanny who receives a salary of N15,000.00 monthly. Fikayo has been living with a swollen stomach for the past 6 years and this sickness made her a laughing stock of her school as her classmates call her “The pregnant girl”. She has been in pain and has also suffered loss of appetite medically referred to as anorexia. As fate would have it, a friend brought her to @seedfoundation and when I met her, I knew it was serious. I looked at her and broke down in tears as her condition would get anyone very emotional. SEED foundation took her to the hospital, the doctor examined her and then arranged some tests and investigations (abdominal X-ray, 3 different scans, etc).
After which, they discovered she had a kidney infection and suggested a Nephrectomy be carried out immediately. We took care of her hospital bills and prayed to God to heal her. This whole process took about three months. The surgery was successful. We thank God for His Infinite Grace, Fikayo is going back to school as a normal child after staying at home for a year plus, and we are super happy to be a part of Fikayo’s story. #seed #foundation”
Now, Fikayo is healthy. She no longer walks around with a bloated stomach.
