Meet Moses, a 35 year old father of four children. He lives in Kenya with his family, in a two roomed rental house. Moses was in a road accident in February 2014. He used to be a truck driver. He did not get insurance coverage. Since the accident, Moses has not been able to walk. He thus stays at home unable to provide for his family.
To raise his family, he relies on donations from friends and a local church. Two of his children are sponsored by a local church because Moses has not been able to get any meaningful source of income. His wife works as a cleaner to supplement the family.
Moses has had several surgeries, which has left him in financial crisis due to high bills. Previous bills accumulated to 936,000 Ksh ($9,750) and Moses and his family were not able to raise half the bill. He has not been able to raise the treatment cost for the current treatment and thus is in need of financial support. If not treated, Moses may suffer severe infection that may result in amputation.
Moses says, “I want to get well to educate my children; I don’t want to be a burden to people any more.”
