A friend of mine for many years, Charmaine Mwenesi, has brain cancer and really needs your help.
Charmaine is a charming, caring friend and sister, and a wonderful mother to her 10 year old son, Sean. Until her illness, she was a News Reader/ Editor/Reporter at Radio Africa. She developed brain cancer earlier this year, and has been admitted at Nairobi Hospital for the past 5 weeks. She has a mass in her brain and has undergone biopsy. Results should be out in the next few days to determine next crucial steps in treatment. Removal of mass by surgery isn’t possible at the moment as it would damage her senses and functions. Sadly she has lost functions of the right side of her body as well as her speech.
The medical expenses have surpassed her insurance cover and currently stand at Ksh 2.5 million….and counting. So far, Ksh 753,000 has been raised by her family and friends, so they need to raise Ksh 1.5 million to cover the balance.
I’m appealing for your help to save Charmaine.
A Facebook group has been set up by her brother Moses Mwole, with all the important information concerning her condition, as well as regular updates on her treatment. Please check it out if you can. There will be a fundraising on Tuesday the 3rd of April at United Kenya Club at 5:30pm, but we really need to raise much, much more as the bill keeps rising by the day.
You can contribute your donation by M-Pesa to Moses Mwole on 0703 137 284. A bank account has also been set up and the details are as follows:
A/C NAME: CHARMAINE MWENESI MEDICAL FUND
A/C NO.: 1133449131
KCB, PRESTIGE PLAZA
SWIFT CODE: KCB l care available.
Please keep Charmaine in your prayers.
