Sly Sticks, a well-known percussionist, is in severe need of financial assistance to travel overseas for spine surgery. His condition has left him paralyzed for almost three years.
Having collaborated with well-known figures such as Davido and Chidinma Ekile, Sly Sticks turned to Instagram to appeal for financial assistance to cover the expenses of his overseas medical treatment.
According to Sly Sticks, his current medical predicament stems from a previous accident that led to severe pain in his arms. Despite efforts to alleviate the pain, both of his arms eventually became paralyzed, and his overall health deteriorated. All attempts to restore his well-being have proven futile.
Gathering the courage to seek for assistance, Sly Sticks hopes to raise the money required for corrective spine surgery in India. He wrote a moving note about his travels, outlining the difficulties he has encountered and the seriousness of the issue.
Sylvester Peters, widely known as SLY, is not only a seasoned drummer but also a father of two. Following a seemingly minor accident years ago, he began experiencing excruciating pain in his left hand, leading to the prescription of painkillers. Unfortunately, the pain persisted and eventually spread to other parts of his body, resulting in paralysis of his legs and hands, as well as impaired speech.
Despite undergoing numerous tests, Sly Sticks has not found a solution to his condition through various hospital visits. The latest medical advice points to the necessity of flying him to India for specialized treatment. The estimated cost for his treatment is Twenty-Five Million Naira (N25,000,000).
For over three years, Sly has faced this ordeal alongside his family, enduring both physical and financial strains. Urgently requiring support, he implores the public to contribute towards his medical expenses, emphasizing the importance of saving his life so he can resume providing for his family and pursuing his passion for music.
