Local celebrity Njambi Koikai is still appealing to well-wishers to help her so that she can undergo surgery. The bubbly media personality, who suffers from endometriosis is set to go under the knife soon, in America.

Endometriosis is a medical condition whereby the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium, grows in other places, such as the fallopian tubes, the intestines, the colon and, in rare cases, the lungs and the brain. When the endometrium lining breaks down, like the regular lining that causes menstruation breaks down, it has nowhere to go.

In a post she shared on social media, Njambi Koikai has revealed that this has been the greatest test she has ever experienced.

"I'm now counting down a few days to treatment. Fam, this has been the greatest test of time I've ever experienced. Mental strength is not easy. It's a resolve to keep pushing every day," she wrote in part.

Koikai is thanking God for the gift of life and there will be a fundraising this Saturday to help her raise her money for her treatment.

"God has been good this far. I'm reminded of Jeremiah 29:11. A great future and hope are all ours when we believe.

America here I come. These lungs shall forever expand and never collapse again. The fire has purified me. Your love, prayers and support have seen me through this.

God is real. God is great.

See you this Saturday at the Alchemist for the fundraiser concert.
