Gossip & Gists: Save Funmi Lawal Once Again

Like always, your opening this link means, the light of love for humanity is shining in your heart. Without wasting much of your time…

Funmi Lawal is the UNILAG law graduate who was diagnosed with malignant sarcoma, a kind of cancer at the shoulder region. Money was raised for her on LIB last August; she was the one Don Jazzy donated N2million to.

Funmi was able, through your kindness, to raise the money she needed for her treatment and went for her surgery in the UK last year, however her left arm had to be amputated to save her life in order not to spread to the other parts of the body.

The treatment was extremely expensive and has been a great challenge for her and her family. After paying the sum of £25000 to the hospital account before she left the country, she was given an additional fee of £6300 when she was discharged. This she had to beg the doctor to allow her pay in pieces because it wasn’t planned for (her family has been able to pay £2100 out of the money now).

Another challenge she’s having is getting an artificial limb to replace the lost one. An estimate has been given to her by Ability Matters Clinical in Roehampton London, about £4500 excluding consultation fees…

Please, she needs Nigerians to help her once again in order to get an artificial hand so that she can achieve her goals of being a practicing lawyer and also help her pay the additional fees to the hospital.

Gossip & Gists: Beyonce Talks Fake Pregnancy Rumors With ‘GQ

On rumors that her pregnancy was fake:

“I felt like I kind of had to protect my mother, because when people made up the silliest rumor about me not really being pregnant, she was there when I went through all of those things. And my sister. They were very, very defensive. It’s not personal to me, and it comes along with the job, but the lack of respect – people will just go too far sometimes.”

On giving birth to her daughter Blue Ivy Carter:

“When I gave birth, that was the first time I truly let go and surrendered. And it taught me how amazing that feels… Giving birth made me realize the power of being a woman. I have so much more substance in my life. And expressing that excitement and that sensuality and the connection I have with my husband—I’m a lot more comfortable with that now. I actually feel like my child introduced me to myself.
