THE AGONY OF CANCER ON A YOUNG FAMILY FROM KISII.

Born in mosocho Kisii county,Mr David Ogoti did not have an idea of how rocky life would be 35 years later.Just three years after he was born, his mother a single parent passed away.He was left behind with her only sister who was later to be married to a Ugandan,unfortunaly she too passed away while she was pregnant with her first child,no one knows exactly the cause of her death.He has no idea whom his Biological father is,whether he is alive or dead.Around april last year his story ran on NTV as he continued his search for his father,unfortunately he has not managed yo trace him to date.Ogoti therefore was brought up by his maternal uncle back at home untill he finished his form four,it was at this point that his lifes journey took another twist after he  abandoned him following a family dispute that borders on jealousy.He later went to kisumu and had to survive on casual jobs to keep himself going.He later went to nakuru in search of manual jobs for survival,while in Nakuru he managed to juggle between mjengo at building and construction companies and attending tracom college for a course in human resource management.That enabled him to secure a job in a security company in Nairobi and later in Mombasa until 2009.As if the hard moments were not enough,he lost his job as the company wound up.Life became unbearable and he decided to go back to kisii to continue and try something different in the village ,Mr ogoti got married to Mrs Ruth in 2007 and gave birth to their first born.In 2013 God blessed them with another bouncing baby girl,and like any other couple they were happy and hoped for a smooth ride as they raised their child.That happiness lasted up until February 2016 when the child felt sick and was taken to kisii county and refferal hospital when a diagnosis of neuroblastoma was made,Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer that mostly affects young children. It develops from nerve cells called neuroblasts.They were reffered to Moi teaching and refferal hospital for further management and have been in hospital since then,life has taken a toll on the young family,with a staggering hospital bill of over Kshs 100,000 he has resorted to the fate of well wishers.On 31.5.2016 courtesy of Q-Fms Rashid Abdalla his story ran on air and concerned kenyans managed to raise Kenya shillings 15,000.Mr ogoti is grateful for support to all the persons who have managed to support him this far,remember you dont have to be wealthy to offer help,all you need is to be rich and kind in your heart and contribute the little you can,his mobile number is 0791749558.Be blessed for whatever support you can manage,remember even a phone call can go a long way to empathise with the family and it will relief their psychological fatigue.
