Paul Arisa begs for help from well-meaning people to assist him
Arisa Paul, 27, is totally unrecognizable as a giant tumour the
size of a big watermelon has made his neck swollen leaving him in total
pain. The young man Nigerian who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma
three years ago but cannot afford the treatment to get rid of the deadly
disease.
He needs a life-saving operation in the UK to salvage his condition
and give him a chance of survival. The tumours are growing even after
doctors managed to reduce the size a year ago.
His family and friends have asked for the help of people to deliver
Paul as he needs urgent radiotherapy treatment in the UK to survive.
A friend of his in London, Cynthia Nnadi, created a gofundme page for Paul to help him get the treatment he desperately needs.

She wrote on the page: "This is an Urgent Appeal for a dear friend.
"My secondary school friend Arisa Paul has been battling cancer
for years now, and is in dare need of your help to further continue
prospective treatments.
"As Paul has been fighting this terrible condition for years,
means that finances have already been stretched so far and his family
are unable to meet the extra cost for treatment and require help."
So far over £12,000 has been raised to help Paul by over 400 people in 11 days.
Cynthia later posted: "I have spoken to Paul, he has assured me he is in good hands and his family is doing all they can to get him the best help.
