Actress, Ini Edo, has launched a fundraising campaign for a 30-day-old baby who was born blind. The baby would need to undergo surgery in order to gain sight.
Ini Edo was distressed when she saw a video of a 30-day-old baby born without any traces of eyes.
The actress stated that some people are simply blessed by God because their offspring are still alive and unaffected by defections.
The baby’s abnormality was classified as “Anophthalmia,” a birth abnormality in which a baby is born with one or both eyes non-existent.
She further stated that some series of test carried out on the baby has revealed that the newborn has eyes but would need surgery for her to see.
According to Ini Edo, the surgery will be performed in three stages: the outer false opening, the eyeballs, and the correction surgery, all of which will take place in India.
Ini Edo also disclosed that the procedure is expected to cost N6,000,000, and she is appealing to generous Nigerians to help with donations to help raise the funds.
She wrote;
