Patrick Kagotho who was shot in NJ is seeking funds to help in his treatment
By Harrison Maina,
In what sounded like a scene straight from Hollywood movies, a Kenyan truck driver escaped death by the skin of his teeth when he was shot in Newark, New Jersey by a gangster who was trying to steal a car he was delivering to a client.
Left handicapped by the wound, but happy to be alive, Patrick Kagotho, a father of four from Worcester Mass., is pleading with his community for financial assistance as he waits to recover his full functionality and go back to work.
A fund raising has been scheduled to take place this Saturday at his family’s home Worcester, Mass,. starting at 4pm.
Kagotho , a self employed driver, operates in several states mainly New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
But on Thursday October 7 this year, Kagotho who has been a delivery driver for the last 6 years, was in high spirits as he got ready for a delivery run that would take him from his home town of Worcester Mass., to Newark NJ, then to Allentown, PA, to end in Philadelphia, also in PA.
The event will take place at the family’s home in 57 Park Terrace, Road Worcester 01604 starting 4pm.
