A Kisumu man has made a passionate appeal to well-wishers to assist him to cater for his ailing wife’s medication.38-year-old Zally Makonzi who resides in Kisumu’s Nyalenda Estate said he needs financial assistance to cater for his 30-year-old wife, Joy Adhiambo, who is suffering from cervical cancer.Makonzi said his wife started complaining of stomach pains in 2013, and that is when he took her to the Kisumu County Hospital. He said the doctor who attended to Adhiambo said she was only suffering from abdominal pains.Adhiambo has been receiving treatment at the facility since 2013, until November last year when she was transferred to the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital.“After being attended to by doctors, it is when it was discovered that she was suffering from cancer and it was now at stage two,” said Makonzi.After the discovery, Makonzi says his wife was admitted to the Kisumu Hospice Cancer Centre for three days for treatment before being discharged. Authorities at the centre confirmed Adhiambo was admitted to the facility.Recently after a scan was done, one of the doctors who has been attending to Adhiambo told Makonzi that the cancer has now reached staged four and urgent measures must be taken to save her life. “The doctor told me that I have to look for Sh1.5 million so that I take my wife to Kenyatta National Hospital for chemotherapy since she cannot be operated on,” said Makonzi, who does manual jobs for a living.The doctor directed him to get the money by end of March this year.“I appeal to anyone one to offer any kind of help,” he pleaded.Any financial donation can be sent via pay bill number 36 59 49. The account number is Joy Adhiambo Makonzi. Zally Makonzi’s contact is 0711 97 98 22. The two are blessed with a 10-year-old son and an eight-year-old daughter.Is there a newsworthy accident, incident or event happening in Kisumu County that you want Hivisasa to cover?
