Nigerian actress and model, Idia Aisien, has revealed her near-fatal experience after surviving a ghastly accident on her birthday vacation in Croatia.

Taking to her Instagram account, Idia Aisien recounted the traumatic incident and expressed her gratitude for surviving the ordeal. “I broke my leg in three places and couldn’t walk,” she wrote, adding that the experience made her reassess her priorities and focus on what truly matters.

Her initiatives will also include funding for medical equipment and support for families who cannot afford proper care for their loved ones with disabilities.
In her heartfelt message, Idia expressed deep gratitude to her family, friends, and well-wishers who supported her during the painful eight-week recovery period. She concluded by stating that her survival has inspired her to give back and make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.

On July 6, 2024, what was supposed to be the best birthday of my life turned out to be one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever had.
I broke my leg in three places and I could no longer walk.
I didn’t know if I’ll be able to do the things I love, but I knew I would begin to do the things that mattered.I watched how people with disabilities are treated and I wanted to do my part to make life a little bit easier, Because some of the basic things we take for granted were just so hard to do.
-Starting with FashionAble, an adaptive clothing label to supply clothes for people with disabilities — Magnets instead of buttons and zips, wider like pants for people who have casts, shirts with arm braces embedded and much more.
-Second: equipments like aesthetic boots, wheelchairs, crutches, donated to different centers and homes across Nigeria that need them the most.
-Third: working with different hospitals and care centers on the kind of food and menus available to people who are recently disabled or in recovery. You don’t have to be rich; but everybody should have access to a decent meal.
-Fourth: Funding equipments for hospitals and centers to focus on providing faster response, more effective surgeries, and the ability to pay better doctors and consultants to care for people in need.
-And last but certainly not least, donations to help clear the debt of families who are unable to adequately cater to their loved ones with disabilities .This I believe is one of the reasons I’ve been blessed to come out of this situation alive🙏🏼
To my family and friends who never left my side, all I can say is thank you. It has been an incredibly painful 8weeks; For everyone who messaged, emailed, prayed, and visited. I love you. 💕🫂❤️🩹
