Dancehall artist Alkaline has gone out of his way
to donate $200,000 to two cancer patients.
The donations were made after his management team made him aware of the two patients’ agony.
In a release to the media, Alkaline explained why he embarked on the gesture to assist the ladies.
‘In all honesty, upon hearing the ladies’ stories, I realized that there are a lot of persons who are desperately in need of assistance. I thought that assisting them would be a way of testing myself and what it would feel like to do some good for others. As it turned out, it was a good feeling and it is something that I will continue to do for a long time’, said the artist.
One of patient by the name Kirby Campbell has been diagnosed with a muscle cell cancer known as Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC).
‘One day I was traveling on a bus and I was punched in the face by a man who was touching me inappropriately. I retaliated and he punched me. The impact from the punch resulted in a swelling on my neck. After I went to the doctor that’s when I found out that I had the cancer’, Miss Campbell recalls.
