An yet-to-be identified pregnant Nigerian lady, in Rivers State has
cried out to an NGO, KBKonline for help after her husband got infected
with the deadly viral disease, Monkeypox.
According to her, she had to send her kids down to her mother who is
currently having rent issues and instead of health workers to help her
out, they go around spreading news that her family is infected with
Monkey pox.
She wrote;
“My husband is down with the monkeypox and we have spend the
little we have on medication yet nothing even the health people are just
posting us since they have done nothing to help. I think I might be
infected already, because I didn’t know on time am even heavily pregnant
and am the one taking care of him. I am even worried for the kids. I
had just sent them to my mums place and she’s having rent issues too and
I’m just here with no money, no help and fear for my whole famil. Life
is hell. Help Please.”
“This health people/and others are just busy spreading the news
that my husband and family is infect with monkeypox instead of helping..
people are just calling to find out that they heard it somewhere.. and
it’s making everyone run away from us. Its so humiliating am in tears as
I write to you.”
