The disturbed mother of two said the sum of N3.5million will be needed to tackle the life threatening ailment, adding that she had strived harder to raise the money since the result of her son’s medical examination was conveyed to her by the management of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Osun State where the child is receiving treatment.
