raising committee for the treatment of OJB, he said donations have
started coming in as more people are now convinced that their appeal for
funds has not been a scam but a desperate cry for help.
“We want
to seize this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported OJB with
money and prayers, may God be with you. We are still far away from
reaching our target of $100000 but we are confident in God’s grace and
the beautiful hearts of all that now know of OJB’S health condition,”
