Nollywood actor Don Richard has cried out for help amid his battle with kidney disease.
He recently revealed that he has lost everything he owns in his battle with the deadly sickness.
Speaking via a video shared on Instagram by actress Biola Adebayo, Richard explained that while his wife supported him initially, she was left with no choice but to leave him eventually.
Revealing that they sold their car and house to pay his medical bills, the moviestar stated that his wife could no longer take the financial burden after a while.
Don Richard disclosed that he has already given her his blessing to find a new man to take care of her and their kids.
“When my wife was told about my health, she started crying. And I told her that another man is a lucky man. I begged her to take good care of my children (twins).
Immediately she left the hospital, she went to dispose of our house and car for my treatment. I have nothing left anymore,” he said.
The Yoruba actor noted that the doctor already told him to bring N30M for his operation, but he cannot afford such an amount.
Don Richard concluded by saying that he only recovered N1.5M after he sold his car, and he is currently left with nothing.
“I sold my car for N1.5 million.
God’s plan for any marriage is for better or worse. Most people don’t prepare for bad times; they only prepare for good ones.
I would walk from Bariga to Chemist to Unilag, Iwaya, Sabo, Yaba, Ojuelegba, then take a cab through the bridge. I did it for eight months.
The doctor spoke to me and I was scared. Looking for 30 million. I was like, ‘God, I don’t have such an amount. You are my life secret. If you leave me, people will know my secret.’
A friend asked me what I wanted, and I told him to look for a place for me to rest, even if it’s borrowed,” he added.
