She says her condition has affected her kidney and now she goes for dialysis twice a week which is very expensive for her.
“As I am speaking we have nothing to pay for the dialysis which is about Sh 120,000 per week, where can we get the funds if even affording a meal per day is hard. We kindly urge you to help us so that our child can be treated and the Almighty God will bless you,” she said.
Jane Wairimu Ngugi is suffering from cervical cancer which is currently at stage four and due to lack of funds, it’s hard for her to be treated a tube is also supposed to be inserted in her body which requires 25,000.

Dr. Emmanuel Chibichi medical officer at Racecourse Hospital Eldoret the clinician managing Jane Ngugu Wairimu said the patient is suffering from cervical cancer which has reached stage four and has caused an obstruction of the kidney.
