Woman Passes Away from Kidney Failure After Husband Allegedly Misuses Treatment Funds and Seeks Help at a Church Instead

Only two months after generous Nigerians rallied to raise funds for her treatment, Joyce Ifunanyachukwu, a young woman whose story touched many hearts, has sadly passed away.

Joyce developed kidney complications following pregnancy-related health challenges. In September, Nigerians donated ₦36 million, the amount required for her treatment, demonstrating overwhelming compassion and support.

On November 21, Sarah Ibrahim, the social media user who spearheaded the fundraising efforts, announced Joyce's passing on X (formerly Twitter). The news has left many donors and well-wishers grieving.

“It’s heartbreaking to share that Joyce has passed away despite all the efforts made to support her recovery,” Sarah stated.
