A fundraising campaign launched
to get a prosthetic leg for Jane, a disabled #EndSARS protester, has raked in
N3.7 million in less than four hours.
Nonso Egemba, a Nigerian medical
expert better known as Aproko Doctor, launched the fundraiser in the early
hours of Sunday.
According to Aproko Doctor, the
lady graduated in 2013 but she has been unable to get a job due to her
disability.
He had earlier enjoined Nigerians
to donate N500,000 within a month to help support the cause.
“This is Jane. She’s been
unemployed since 2013 partly because of her disability, she came out in the
#EndSARS protests and we need to help. Please click the link below to donate to
this, if you can’t donate, please retweet, someone might see it on your
timeline,” he wrote on Twitter.
This is Jane.

Thirty minutes after the launch, the N500,000 target was
achieved, and Egemba later announcing that the target had been increased.
I created the donate link for Jane with a 30 day period in mind for 500,000. I thought Nigerians were stretched thin from giving for the #EndSARS protests
