Caleb Maina-1 week later

Today marks one week since Caleb and his mum arrived at Fortis Hospitals Bangalore. Ideally he should have undergone the surgery and recovering by now but that is not the case.

We have been in touch  with the mum and Caleb has been doing fine. Nicoletta(Caleb’s mum) is also trying her best to talk to doctors, accounts office and anyone who can listen to allow the surgery to be done.They say she is very comical yet it is the cry and desperation of a mother.


I was with Caleb’s dad  Peter yesterday and he is really trying all he can to see his son get the surgery that he so much requires. He is also very grateful to all those friends who have helped his family in one way or another.

We have been able to raise about Kshs 115,000 and we are making great strides towards the target Kshs 800,000. We are hoping that the hospital shall see the effort being put by the family and accept to bend its rule on the 80% deposit. Total bill is about Kshs 1,147,500. Caleb and mum had travelled with a Kshs 300,000 cheque and therefore we have Kshs 415,000. We need to raise another Kshs 385,000 to get Caleb’s surgery done and another kshs 350,000 to clear the total medical bill.


Let us keep praying for God to stir the hearts of men and to sustain Caleb as we continue in faith to trust that the surgery will be done successfully.  Once again thank you for standing with us on this. One day we shall look back and say it was worth it all.

Regards

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...
