Cursory: The orphan, who tragically lost both her parents in 2009, turned to concerned netizens for assistance in her pursuit of higher education.


A determined Nigerian girl, Eche Mercy, hailing from APA local government in Benue State, was faced with the harsh reality of pursuing her career to study medicine and surgery due to financial constraint.
Mercy who lost her both parents turned to concerned Netizens for financial assistance.
Despite the loss of her parents, she managed to excel academically and secure an opportunity to study for an MBBS degree at Benue State University Makurdi.

In her words;
“My name is Eche Mercy from APA local government Benue State, and I have been given an opportunity to pursue an MBBS degree at Benue State University Makurdi.
“I lost both of my parents since 2009 and I am the only child of my parents, my Aunty has been the sole sponsor of my academics throughout my secondary school but is unable to sponsor my medical career in school due to financial difficulties.
“As it stands I would lose my mbbs admission if I don’t pay my tuition before matriculation which is speculated to hold next week. The reason for my delay in seeking for help was because I was hoping my family would be able to raise my tuition fee but as been unable to do so and have said I should forfeit my admission, I believe I have what it takes to succeed and I am determined to see my dream come to pass.
“My tuition fee for a session is N250,000 but the first semester is N155,000 which I need to pay urgently to be matriculated. I need your support to be able to pursue my dream of being a doctor. Attached to this letter is my Admission letter, WAEC, JAMB result.”
Her story touched many Netizens that some took it upon themselves to help share on their Facebook handle till help came.
One of the benevolent Netizens is Ojila, who was able to raise N450,000+ for her.
