This was a tweet I saw from @beeseryor while following the hashtag #SaveMateen 'yesternoon'. Immediately, I felt cold and tears formed in my eyes. It was with reluctance and courage I replied: "Hmnn! Poor kids in a poor world. By God's grace, we will collectively #SaveMateen…" This was my resolve, Mateen was not gonna die!
The #SaveCauses are so rampant in the Nigerian twitter trends. I recalled joining hands to tweet #SaveOke, #SaveMisbaudeen and now it's #SaveMateen. This is the price we pay in our world for a non-functional government who loot tax-payers money in the name of security votes and run abroad for medical check-ups – let's save the governments' irresponsibility for another day.
Mateen is a young child who arrived this evanescent, meager world in February 2013. He was diagnosed to have intestinal obstruction and a hole in the heart right from birth. After going through medical observation, it was concluded that he will urgently need to undergo two different surgeries. The first is called 'Astringe' which is meant to correct the intestinal obstruction while the other will fill the hole in his heart. Both surgeries are to be carried out in India.
A total sum of 2.5 million naira is required for surgery and travel expenses for both Mateen and his mother. So far, over 1.2 million naira has been raised through loan and generous donations. There is only one constraint at the moment; we need to raise the rest of the funds before the week runs out. This is why we are calling you to #SaveMateen.
Every mother's joy is to see her child live longer and more successful than herself. Help Mateen's Mum fulfill this dream. Together, we can #SaveMateen. We have done it before and we can do it again.
