GoFundMe account created on his behalf by friends to facilitate his kidney
transplant.

body and soul” ahead of the surgery.

and care you have shown me since this sad news broke. I sincerely appreciate
and love you all for this outpouring of genuine love and care,” he wrote.
“However, based on the requests I have been receiving on the
need for GoFundMe activities, I want to assure everyone that the activity is
now on. Just click on my Instagram website for the gofundme link.

awaiting the doctors summons for the surgery procedures scheduled for anytime
from now. Prayers, faith and staunch belief in God’s awesome works drives me.”
