Veteran Nollywood actress Jumoke George has opened up about the difficult challenges she’s currently facing, calling for help as she battles health problems, homelessness, and the pain of a missing child.
In a recent appearance on the “TalkToB” show hosted by actress Abiola Adebayo, Jumoke broke down in tears while sharing her heartbreaking story.
A short video from the interview, posted by Adebayo on Instagram on Tuesday, showed Jumoke speaking emotionally about her struggles.
The actress explained how she’s been living in a church and unable to pay for medical treatment.
“Please pray for me, mothers in the world. Help me with your prayers. I have never ruined anyone’s life. I am tired, I can no longer bear it,” she said, crying.
The actress revealed that she currently has no stable place to stay and depends on the generosity of people at her church to survive each day.
“I don’t have a home, I don’t have anything and a child of mine is missing. I don’t have good health, I am tired and exhausted. I’m living in the church, most times it’s the church mummy that feeds me,” she said.
She also revealed that her eldest child, Adeola, has been missing for four years.
Despite her poor health, Jumoke George says she is still responsible for taking care of her grandchildren.
“I have tried as a Christian. My first born, Adeola, has been missing for the past four years. Deola clocked 41 on May 1. I’m the one catering for the children,” she said.
Jumoke George also spoke about the health problems she’s been facing since the beginning of the year, lamenting that her medical expenses are rising, and she can’t afford to cover them.
“I’ve been sick since January 2 and I have tried my best as a human. I don’t know, I have done several tests and now I want to do brain and heart tests and it’s N400,000. I don’t know where to get the money from,” she explained.
She added, “I don’t sleep because I’m always in pain. Everything is wrong with me. I don’t understand anymore. I have put that child in so much debt,” she said with a shaky voice.
Her emotional appeal has touched many hearts online, with fans and fellow actors reaching out through social media to show their support and offer prayers.
