Caleb Maina-3

I am not sure why God allowed me to meet this boy and once again we have met. He has three heart defects and is now 4months old and weighs only 3.7kgs. He needs an urgent heart surgery and its been an uphill task to get him an affordable hospital package. Finally, God has come through and Apollos Hospital Banglore has accepted to do surgery at USD  4,500 and a well wisher has paid Kshs 300,000 and deficit now is Kshs 100,000. The air ticket has been paid and that is all they need.
 

The parents had managed to raise some cash from friends but unfortunately Caleb fell sick on Tuesday with fever of 40 and has been admitted since then at Nairobi Women's Adams Branch 2nd floor and therefore their little savings have all been poured towards that. As we speak Caleb is much better but was severely dehydrated and is still in hospital even as we trust that he will travel with the mum this Monday 12th March to India.

I talked with the mum and she says she does not have cash but has faith in God that all will work out and am appealing to you my friends, please talk to you friends and help me help Caleb.

My numbers are 0722 840375.

God bless

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...
