Lucy Mukundi
The Kenyan community in Seattle Washington has sent an SOS to the Diaspora community on behalf of one of their own Mrs. Elizabeth Mukundi(Lucy’s mum).
Mrs. Mukundi’s Daughter, Lucy had undergone a brain surgery in 2007 in India, she has continued to receive expensive treatment , which has been depleting the family’s resources.
In February, Lucy was run over by a hit-and- run driver back home in Kenya, She sustained double fractures on the paralyzed leg , and injuries in her other leg. Her brain condition worsened due to trauma.
Mrs. Mukundi who lives in Seattle Washington is a single mother of four. She has been very supportive to everyone in the community but now faces challenges that she cannot help on her own. Her friends have organized a fundraiser and are asking for support from the Diaspora Community. Here below is the appeal letter.
RE: FUNDS DRIVE: LUCY MUKUNDI’S HOSPITAL
BILL
The planning committee cordially invites you to a fund’s drive in aid of Elizabeth Mukundi (Nanny’s) daughter, Lucy, on Saturday, May 1, 2010, 6:00PM at Jubilee Covenant Center, 835 North Central Ave., Suite D-113, Kent, WA- 98032.
Lucy is currently admitted in a Nairobi hospital.
Her case is not new to most of us. She underwent brain surgery in 2007 in India- thanks for your support that made this possible. She has since continued to receive very expensive treatment, depleting the family’s resources.
As if that was not enough, in the last week of February, Lucy was run over by a hit- and-run driver and sustained double fractures on the paralyzed leg, and injuries in the other leg. She was admitted in hospital for two weeks, and then discharged, only to be returned when her brain condition worsened due to trauma.
Her hospital bills have continued to sky- rocket; as of 03/29/2010, the bill was up to Ksh.1.2 million and continues to rise with each passing day.
In view of these experiences, the family is in dire need of community assistance. This will not only help pay the hospital bills, but also give Lucy the peace of mind that she needs to recover.
Our hearts go out to this family at this time of distress.
Your prayers and financial support is greatly appreciated.
