Cassper Nyovest has extended a helping hand to a 26-year-old Nompilo Dlamini who is in need of new sets of lungs. Nompilo who hails from Swaziland has been living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), and it at the end stages of it. Cassper had reached out to Nompilo and has pledged to donate R150 000.
Nompilo's illness is said to be a genetic disorder which targets the lungs, digestive system and other organs in the body. She had been denied medical assistance in South Africa as doctors told her she is not a citizen of the country.
She had lost all hope and said her phycologist have been preparing her for the afterlife. But a light at the end of the tunnel availed itself and Nompilo will be getting assistance from doctors in India. But the surgery is costly and she has called on the public to help her raise these funds of R2 million. "Tomorrow my psychologist is preparing me for my next life since I'm at the end stage, so now I have to live my life knowing I might die soon, since lung transplant us far fetched for now, doctors are just going to try all they can to keep me in less pain and help me transition well," she said.
"Please do keep me in prayers as I pray for myself too, I'm struggling to fight the urge of taking all my pills and just ending it, yesterday was my first attempt and nothing happened, I've been fighting it since morning, I'm trying my best and I don't want to disappoint myself," she cried.

Her GoFundMe had been growing at a slow rate until Cassper decided to be the good Samaritan that he is. He has pledged to help Nompilo with the 150K but it does not end there.
He took to Instagram to plead with his friends and fans to make an offer and help #SaveNompilo.
"A few days ago I came across a story about a girl called Nompilo Dlamini. She is a young girl in Swaziland who is currently facing a life threatening disease. Her story touched me because she was very positive even though she is going through so much. The disease is called Cystic Fibrosis which is a genetic disease which attacks multiple organs including her lungs, which makes it hard for her to breath.
"The current difficulty is that she does not have funds to aid her situation. What makes it more difficult is that with the current situation in Swaziland with the internet shutdown she is not able to raise her voice and so I decided that I am going to raise mine.
"I have decided that I will donate R150 000 and I am trying to rally the rest of you guys to help me and try to save her life. I believe that me together with you can save her life. It does not matter how much you donate it will definitely help her."
In a tweet where Nompilo thanks Cassper for saving her life, Cass applauded her fighting spirit, "Your story touched me. You are such a positive soul. I will be rallying some of my friends & fans to help you get to India and hopefully we can get you a new set of Lungs so you can live a long lengthy life & inspire more people like you have inspired me. Stay strong."
