April 10, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Kemi Afolabi, has written a lengthy appreciation note to those who have donated money towards her treatment abroad.
Recall that Mercy Aigbe, Yomi Fabiyi and some other actors tried to raise funds for the actress towards her treatment.
They called on Nigerians to assist the actress so that she can raise money to seek medical care abroad. Though their action was greeted with criticism, many, however, responded by sending money to her personal account and the GoFundMe opened on her behalf.
The actress took to her Instagram on Saturday to make her heartfelt gratitude known.
“The endless love and support I have received from you all, family, friends, fans (who I call family now) colleagues, association, well wishers has been immense.
“Trust me, it wasn’t an easy decision for me to put my story out there. It took a lot of courage and strength! I had to do it regardless, to encourage people in the same situation and even worse, that when there is life, there is indeed hope.
“A lot of you reached out to me every single day! Prayed and showed me a lot of care, especially those that I barely know. The love you showed me was so immense that my courage got renewed and my zeal to fight for life became stronger.
“It has indeed not been an easy ride for me and my family, but your kindness has gone a long way in easing the pain and burden.
“Mere words cannot express how good I felt about my friends and colleagues, who only did not put together the idea of raising fund to assist in paying my medical bills, but also showed up big time by contributing to that effect which left me stunned.
“Thank you my people, I sincerely appreciate you guys a lot. God bless you abundantly and replenish the pocket of every soul out there who deposited funds for treatment for me and reached out to offer help by every possible means.
“I pray for all of you today that God give you good health of mind and body, perfect any situation or problem you might be encountering, make your life free of sickness and pain.
“To those who might be battling a thing or the other, may he give you the strength and courage to overcome.
Thank you so much for your love, I am not only grateful, but ever indebted to everyone.
“Honestly, there are still many more people that I still want to thank and I will be back to round off my epistle.”
