It was a bright and sunny day, with a mixture of haze in the air suggestive of the coming harmattan season which literally heralds the preparation for the yuletide season. It was on a Sunday, precisely the 4^th of November, 2012. Elizabeth Ngodoo Terfa, 25, popularly known by friends and peers as ‘LizzyDoo’, left home for church to give thanks to God Almighty for all the good deeds in her life.

Before the Accident…

The trip to church was usually a short routine; she takes a motorcycle from her home to church and then takes another motorcycle back home after church, period. However, in the midst of her normal daily activities, little did she know that that fateful Sunday will mark an agonizing turning point in her life. It was that day that ‘normal activities’ ground to a halt; the soothing smile which was her trademark suddenly ceased, her boisterous personality suddenly disappeared, and her aspirations I life currently hanging on a cliff. LizzyDoo boarded a motorcycle to take her home after after church and on their way, a Volkswagen Golf 3 car rammed into the motorcycle, sending both passenger and rider crashing awkwardly on the brittled asphalt of Northbank, Makurdi.

LizzyDoo, who is currently receiving treatment at DaisyLand Orthopaedic and Trauma Hospital Jos, has gone through hell in a bid to fix her broken legs. Series of surgeries have been performed on the legs and monies have been expended in the process. As at the time of writing this appeal, she could not even recall how much money she has spent on the broken legs. She has her humble family and other sympathisers to thank for what they have done for her so far. And she prays that God will bless all those that have showed her love and care.

Elizabeth Ngodoo Terfa is appealing to good Nigerians to come to her aid and assist her in any way possible so as to enable her achieve her dreams of walking again. She requires about N900,000 (Nine Hundred Naira) altogether to bring her fully back on her feet again. Nigerians are good people, and LizzyDoo hopes to reach out to someone who has the means and heart to help.

You can contact LizzyDoo on 07031312599, and 08059799880. May God Bless the potential helper; God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
