“I will put a deposit of R2 000 (N47,5k) down for the wheelchair to get the wheels turning,” a reader wrote.

A retired social worker that read about Ibongwe’s problems wrote: “Social workers have to provide counseling to the boy and tell him the benefits of him having the surgery. It is possible that the boy can be helped to get back to school.”
