Since her husband’s death three years ago, Grace has had to raise her three children (one daughter aged 9 and a pair of twins aged 7) on her own in the notorious poor suburb of Kawangware in Nairobi. There, she lives with her children in subhuman conditions, without water or electricity. Her monthly income is only €40 to €60.
Following an accident in which an intercity bus overturned, Grace suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, with bleeding and cerebrospinal fluid leaking from her ears and nose. Unconscious for several hours, she received nothing more than painkillers as treatment at the hospital near the scene of the accident and was discharged without any further diagnostic tests. In addition to chronic headaches, she suffered from hearing loss and impaired vision.
Thanks to your donation, Tulisa was able to fund a computed tomography scan of the head (CT, ‘tube scan’). A brain injury or tumour was ruled out, and thanks to the pain management treatment initiated, the patient is now finally pain-free. As there is currently no medical indication for surgery regarding her additional gallbladder problem, surgery will be postponed until further notice.
A heartfelt thank you to all the donors who helped relieve Grace of her chronic pain!
