Singer Nomoreloss, who heads the fund raising committee for the treatment of OJB, 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,” Nomoreloss said.
