Bake sale for Paul Mefor

DuNDALK Community church is organising a bake sale to raise fund for Paul Mefor, a Nigerian born-Irish citizen who has lived in Dundalk for about twenty years. Paul is suffering from Parkinson disease and is seeking a stem-cell treatment in Switzerland.

According to Paul,” I have been suffering from Parkinson’s, a degenerative disease, for over 10 years. My treatment in Ireland, has not stopped the progression of the disease, hence my current quest for alternative, but promising STEM CELL treatment at the SWISS MEDICA XXI CENTuRY Medical Facility, in Switzerland. The cost of the treatment, including travel/ boarding/feeding/ post-intervention care, has been conservatively assessed at around €40,000.00, which is the target of my fund drive.”

Paul is a seasoned journalist and a family man who has had to endure excruciating and debilitating effects of Parkinson’s disease in the las ten years.

Paul is seeking stem cell treatment in Switzerland.

A GoFundme account has been set up for this issue, however, Dundalk Community church has decided as part of their support to hold a bake sale on Sunday 5th February at their church premises- The Ramparts, sic in 2012.
