A seventy year woman is crying for medical assistance to aid in assisting her ailing grandson disowned by his mother.
Mary Achochi from Boitang’are village, Sameta sub county struggles single-handedly to care for the grandson, now a young person, in spite of the abject poverty afflicting her.
The young person is suffering from a myriad of health challenges including mental, locomotion and signs similar to autism.
He also experiences failing eye sight, has difficulties in eating and developed a huge growth on his back.
Intriguingly, there is no history of the young person ever visiting a health facility since childhood.
Duncan Achochi, an uncle to the young man, disclosed the mother abandoned him after she was married adding that for the last five years, she had not visited her sick son.
The mother’s matrimonial home was not far from that of her parents.
According to the uncle, when informed about the condition of her son who requires assistance to even perform simple physiological functions ,the mother disowned him.
He lamented over the constraints the young man’s grandmother went through including engaging in menial jobs to sustain him.
Shekeff Nyarangi, a good Samaritan who sometimes chips in to feed him, appealed for help to enable him acquire proper medication.
