“Hey fam. I am a firm believer in TRYING no matter what the outcome. My name is Mary Njambi Koikai, a stage 4 Endometriosis survivor. The disease had ravaged my body for 19 years and 3 years ago it spread to my lungs and chest area. This disease was causing my lungs to collapse every month while I was on my period. I have undergone 16 surgeries including the main surgeries here in Atlanta, Georgia. I have never had a painless period since I was 13 years old. Doctors tried everything on me. 

I tried everything you can think of until my gynecologist told me I needed specialized treatment. I went online and properly searched for doctors. I found them. I gave it a shot send in my medical records. I was accepted for treatment. Unfortunately, my family was trying to come out of financial crisis due to my late grandma’s cancer and my illness. I have SURVIVED. There are days when I have been in great pains but I keep trying. This is a cancer-like disease, affecting over 200 million women worldwide. Battling it is all God. I have tried everything. I have knocked on all the doors you can ever think of.

Today I humbly ask you my fam as #Jahmbyarmy to kindly help me tag His Excellency Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho@Joho 001 to kindly assist me with this last part of the fundraiser. I kindly need to raise Kshs. 2.4 million in order to finish the much needed therapies and pending hospital bill.
