Medical Support Appeal for Maama Makeba
Dear Friends and Trans Supporters,
Since January, our beloved Maama Makeba has been courageously battling tuberculosis (TB) and a severe aspergillus infection affecting her lungs is a condition that, if left untreated, could lead to cancer. After her initial admission at St. Mary’s Hospital, she was transferred to Kenyatta Hospital, where she has already undergone the charocetisis process to drain fluid and manage life-threatening complications.Despite the immense pain and emotional strain, Maama Makeba’s spirit remains unbroken. She continues to fight with strength and hope while in quarantine, receiving her medical care that is expected to last for another six months.
The total cost of her treatment is estimated at USD 10,000. So far, only USD 500 has been raised through the generosity of friends and well-wishers, leaving a balance of USD 9,500 urgently needed to cover hospital bills, medication, laboratory tests, regular checkups, transport, and recovery support.
Your kind donation, no matter the size, will bring real relief and hope to Maama Makeba during this critical time. Together, we can ensure she receives the care she desperately needs and helps her regain her health, strength, and beautiful spirit.
