Precious Gaza, a sickle cell patient and advocate, is facing allegations of misappropriating funds meant for her Bone Marrow Transplant procedure.

Gaza’s friends started a GoFundMe campaign in March 2021 to raise money for her Bone Marrow Transplant procedure. The campaign aimed to raise $200,000 for the surgery. Supporting medical documents from Sheba International, a medical center in Israel, were provided on the GoFundMe page and a documentary detailing Gaza’s struggles as a sickle cell patient was also included.

Gaza’s friends recently issued a statement on Twitter alleging that they no longer have access to the original account created to update the public on donations. They claimed that a total of £53,400.00 and ₦33 million were raised and handed over to Gaza. However, they discovered that the funds were not used for the intended purpose.

The friends alleged that Gaza continued to solicit more funds on TikTok even after they confronted her about the misappropriation. They also claimed that the donations made after July 5, 2023, were being withheld as they doubted Gaza’s trustworthiness. Gaza’s friends expressed disappointment at her alleged deception and misappropriation of the funds meant for her life-saving procedure.

Responding to the allegations, Gaza put out a four-page statement acknowledging her friends’ efforts and admitting her battle with drug dependency and mental illness. She disclosed that she has been battling depression and schizophrenia in addition to sickle cell.
