Ace Nollywood actress, Jumoke George, has appealed to the public for financial assistance, revealing she has been homeless for six years and battling a severe illness.
In an interview with fellow actress Biola Bayo, George broke down in tears while disclosing that she has been living in a church, relying on the kindness of the church leader for food and shelter.
The film star also shared her struggles with an undisclosed medical condition that requires urgent brain and heart surgeries.
George said she has been ill since January and needs critical medical tests costing N400,000, which she cannot afford.
She said her first child, a 41-year-old woman, has been missing for four years, leaving her to care for her grandchildren.
The film star also revealed she has borrowed up to N2 million in an effort 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.”
