Former news anchor, Louis Otieno’s sickness has left his family worried. The once high flying journalist is admitted at a local hospital with a serious health condition.
For the first time, his family has sought for funds appeal. They claim Louis has exhausted their family resources and the only thing remaining is fundraising. They also revealed that their son is suffering from acute pancreatitis and he needs immediate medical attention before something worse happens.
Below is the statement we obtained from the family:
“The committee, family and friends of Louis Otieno would like to inform you of the official launch of Louis Otieno Medical Funds Drive. As you all may be aware Louis has been unwell and in and out of hospital being treated for acute pancreatitis. During one of his admissions, Louis lost his hearing while in hospital. Efforts to get his hearing fixed including using hearing Aids have not been successful. During this period, he has not been able to engage in any gainful income generating activities which has been straineous for him and family.
After consultations with doctors, it was agreed that the only way the hearing could be fixed was by having a procedure undertaken in India called Cochlear implant.
The cost of this very needed surgery is quite high and hence our reaching out to friends, well wishers, former peers and anyone who feels moved to support this man get his life back again.
A paybill number has been opened and is active so you can send your donations directly to the paybill. The committee is also planning a harambee to support Louis. We all know of the great work he did in media and we wish to see him continue this good work.
Join us in the initiative to help Louis Otieno gain his hearing back again!
Thank you all in advance for responding to this call and may God bless you.
Sincerely
Committee of Louis Otieno Medical Fund.
