Family seeks N17m for three-month-old’s heart surgery

A three-month-old baby, Adegbite Robiah, is in urgent need of heart surgery estimated at N17m, with her family racing against a November deadline to raise the funds. Born on May 9, 2026, Robiah was diagnosed with a complex congenital heart defect after developing fast breathing. The medical report shows she has multiple defects including a complete atrioventricular septal defect, large ventricular and atrial septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus, along with Trisomy 21.

Despite fundraising efforts, the family has only raised N900,000, leaving a significant gap to the required amount. They are appealing to Nigerians and kind-hearted people for urgent support to secure the surgery before her sixth month, which is recommended by doctors.
