Veteran Nigerian comedian, Julius Agwu has just donated $35,000 to seriously ill singer, Alariwo.
Alariwo recently admitted that he’s ill after he
granted an interview to Punch revealing that he has been diagnosed with a
disease known as Varicocele, an enlargement of veins inside the
scrotum.
To undergo a surgery to take care of the ailment, the
Crossover singer needs $130,000 for surgery abroad, an amount he’s been
trying to raise.
“Julius is the only entertainer that has
volunteered to donate the sum of $35,000 to my cause. I was shocked when
he called to say he would give me the money. Now what I should be
looking for is the balance. I want to thank him for this wonderful
gesture”Alariwo said.
He continued “A lot of people were kind enough to
provide support during the crisis. I am talking about people like Ayo
Animashaun, Otunba Sesan Rufai and many others.”
Alariwo however still needs to raise some funds for
his planned medical trip abroad to complete the total of $130,000 for
his own treatment and also balance up what is left of his wife’s bills,
who has also been ill with acute pulmonary embolism.
