It is pain, grief, tears and sleepless nights for Musa Yatich from Ossen in Baringo North over his son's ailment yet he is jobless.
Baby Nathan, a second born to Musa got sick barely months after his birth in 2017.
This has made his loving father to live a miserable life to point of asking well-wishers for support.
According to Musa, his boy was diagnosed with a growth in his brain forcing him to undergo surgery to drain the excess cerebrospinal fluid in his brain.
As sad and painful as it is, he had to also undergo another major brain surgery to remove a cystic mass which had grown in his brain which saw the young boy spend days in the ICU.
"As a jobless parent, all the above sad news hit me so hard to an extent of even thinking of committing suicide so that I can forget all these problems. But something told me to press on," Musa says plaintively.
Nathan is supposed to undergo physiotherapy thrice a week. This, to Musa, is a huge burden because he cannot afford to raise the funds to pay for his son's therapy.
Nathan is also getting blind and hasn't been able to sit down.
Musa holds a diploma in purchasing and supplies and also a higher diploma in entrepreneurship development.
Despite these qualifications, he hasn't secured a job.
"Before things get worse and because no one knows about tomorrow, I only appeal that I get a job to take care of my family and my son also who needs weekly medical attention, " says Musa as tears roll down his cheeks.
