SAVE A LIFE: Another Nigerian Musician Needs N4m To Stay Alive

One more celebrity is suffering from a life
threatening disease, her name is Zara Gretti and
she is in dire need of help.
Her real name Margaret Mary Oluwatoyin Ejiro
Joseph , she was in early 2012 diagnosed with Multiple
Sclerosis after travelling to the US in November 2011.
Multiple Sclerosis is a nervous system disease that
affects your brain and spinal cord. It damages the
myelin sheath, the material that surrounds and
protects your nerve cells. This damage slows down or
blocks messages between your brain and your body.
Zara says she was surprised when she learnt she had
been diagnosed with the disease. "My family had to
travel me to the US for better hospitals to fully
diagnose and understand what was wrong with me" ,
she told NET via Skype in April.
Zara claims the symptoms began creeping in gradually,
starting with muscle weakness and numbness. Right
now, Zara is suffering from visual disturbances,
trouble with coordination and balance, thinking and
memory problems, double vision or blurring of vision,
slurred speech, fatigue and dizziness.
The once very active dreadlocked singer has cut her
natural braids and says she has been undergoing
different treatments including mild chemotherapy in a
hospital situated near her residence in Maryland, US.
Bills have been piling up and have to be paid; Zara
who seems to be showing a commendable amount of
courage has called upon fans and friends to help in
raising funds to pay her hospital fees. Taking time to
record a mini-video while receiving treatment in the
hospital, she finally revealed to the world her current
condition.
An online charity fund account has been opened with
the target to raise $23,000. So far $12,094 has been
raised. Her current manager says a GTBank account
will also be opened for local transfers within the
country.
"God is going to do a miracle for me. I'm going to
have a huge testimony. Every day I tell him thank you.
I am grateful", Zara says.
Zara according to her manager IK Tripz , will be
returning to Nigeria sometime in September 2013.
'The plan is for her to release her 'Colours of my
Heart' EP . She will be returning in September too', IK
Tripz told NET over the phone. Zara also released a
new song titled ' Yeah' . The EP will be released under
her label ILVIDONLA.
Zara burst into the Nigerian music scene in 2010,
when she returned from Maryland , US to pursue a
career in Nigeria. She was heavily affiliated with
Alapomeji Records and managed by Toni Payne
Management. She well known for her popular single
'Aboko Ku
