[08/03 7:48 pm] Sisi Vee: Below is an example of people willing to help

“Sisi Vee I hope you are well. The lady for chemo I could not watch the video I cringe to that and I can only imagine how much pain she should be in and I am not one to just sit here and feel sorry without extending a hand .Sometimes in life it’s about choosing to trim our lifestyles even for a day for helping a fellow human being.  Hapana anowana in excess but we should have a heart to squeeze in and help when real help is needed .  Please let me know when she sends the bills so I can tell you how much I can contribute . Thank you for the great work and for supporting such causes .Always count me in in such causes.

Makes me wonder those that donate to Zanu PF birthday bashes etc why can’t they do the same to buy pain relief for someone like this lady .Jesu ngavachidzoka zvavo”

Meanwhile in case you missed auntie Esther’s appeal yesterday please find it below.

“Hello ladies.My name is Esther Mhuri,I live in Gweru.I’m a single mother of 4.I was diagnosed with right breast cancer and got operated on 11 April 2012.After the mastectomy,I faced a challenge of some axillary nodes and my doctor referred me to the radio oncologist.I was put on Chemotherapy sessions and could not complete them due to financial problems.I put my house up for sale but as I was waiting to find a buyer I developed lymphedema of the right upper limb due to defaulting chemotherapy.I started having liver problems and was referred to South Africa since the treatments were a bit cheaper.When I came back from SA my kids were not going to school because I couldn’t afford it.I was in rental debt.Food even became scarce in my household so I sold my car for my kids to go back to school.My health deteriorated so much that I couldn’t work for my Kids like I used to .I developed another Lump on my left breast and I was to go for an operation.The lump was sent to pathology and when the results came back ,zvakanzi i cancer and I was to go for another mastectomy.Ndakanzwa kuomerwa because I had nothing else to sell .Ndakatora hembe dzevana nedzangu ndichichinjisa nema potatoes kuti vawane chekudya.Ndakazvipira ndikaenda kwa The Late Ex Governer to seek assistance and he referred me to Mai Dube ve River Valley Properties.She empathized with me and offered to take my kids under her wing.She pays for my kids fees every term.She also organized medical aid for me and all my kids .At the present moment the medical aid cannot cater for the mastectomy because the waiting period for cancer patients is 18 months and I was supposed to have had the mastectomy in September last year.Zamu rangu rave kuwora,handirari nekurwadziwa.Ndasvika pa stage iyi nokuda kwekushaya mari yekunoitwa operation iyi.Kune avo vanokwanisa,ndinokumbirawo rubatsiro rwenyu ndinoitwawo mastectomy iyi nekukasika.To those who have even words of encouragement or might want to contact me,here are some numbers
