Popular actress Jumoke George has appealed for financial support, disclosing that she has been homeless for six years while also struggling with a serious illness.
During an interview with fellow actress Biola Bayo, shared on YouTube Tuesday, George tearfully revealed that she has been residing in a church, relying on the church leader’s kindness for food and shelter.
The actress also opened up about her battle with an undisclosed medical condition, which necessitates urgent brain and heart surgeries.
George mentioned that she has been ill since January and requires crucial medical tests amounting to N400,000, an expense she is unable to afford.
She shared that her first child, a 41-year-old woman, has been missing for four years, and as a result, she has been taking care of her grandchildren.
The film star also disclosed that she has borrowed as much as N2 million in a bid to survive.
“Everyone please pray for me. I have never done evil to anyone. I need your prayers. I can no longer bear it. I do not have a home or anything. I even lost a whole child,” she said.
“I do not have good health. I am tired and exhausted. I have tried as a Christian. My first child Adéolá has been missing for the past four years. She clocked 41 years.
“Her children are with me.
“I have been ill since January 2. I have tried my best as a human. I have done several tests. The only one remaining is for the brain and heart, which will cost N400,000. I do not know where to get it. I cannot sleep. I feel pain anytime I try to sleep.
“I have been indebted. I have borrowed money up to N2 million.
“I do not have a home. I have been living in church for the last five to six years and the church priestess has been feeding me.”
