“Although their parents are physically safe, they are now facing the worst nightmare of a parent in a foreign country,” said Lynie Maina.
“The costs associated with the global pandemic are very high. We are asking for the community’s help to cover the medical costs; the costs of essential services and surgery for Njeri’s recovery in Kenya,” said Maina.
According to Maina, the money would also cover funeral expenses, transportation, and support, help parents stay by Njeri’s side during her recovery and cover the sudden cost of emergency supplies for this crisis,” said Maina before Njeri died.
“Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.” “If you can’t donate, please share this link with your networks,” he asked.
