Mbachu Anderson Chukwudera, a 24-year-old Nigerian Law School student, seeks desperate need of financial support as he battles end-stage kidney disease, a life-threatening condition that has brought his education and dreams to a halt.
Anderson, who began his academic journey at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), was on course to becoming a lawyer before his health took a critical turn. Diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), secondary to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis—a serious kidney disorder confirmed through biopsy—Anderson now relies on dialysis three times a week just to stay alive.
The physical toll of the illness is immense, but so too is the financial burden. So far, Anderson and his family have spent a significant amount of money on tests, treatments, and weekly dialysis sessions. According to a medical report from Zenith Medical and Kidney Centre, Abuja, a kidney transplant is urgently needed to save his life and offer him a chance at recovery.
The transplant, which must be followed by lifelong use of immunosuppressant medication, is estimated to cost ₦40 million — a sum far beyond what the family can afford on their own.
Speaking from his hospital bed, Anderson shared his emotional appeal:
“My education and future are on hold. I’m reaching out because I need your help. Any contribution, big or small, brings me closer to the transplant that will give me a second chance. Every naira counts, and I am counting on your kindness to help me raise the funds needed for this life-saving surgery. Your support can change my life.”
The family has provided the following details for those willing to offer financial support:
- Account Name: Mbachu Martha (his mother)
- Bank: First Bank
- Account Number: 3036231101
- Phone Contact: 0816 564 0510
As Anderson’s condition worsens, time is of the essence. The family is appealing to well-meaning individuals, civil society groups, religious organisations, and government bodies to come to his aid.
His story is not just one of illness, but of a young Nigerian with dreams deferred by circumstances beyond his control — a dream that can still be rekindled with compassion and collective action.
