A woman from Chendambuya in Headlands, Manicaland Province, is appealing for financial assistance for her 11-year-old son who was diagnosed with a kidney ailment.
The woman, Amaria Matutu, said her son, Tafadzwa Bhobho, has been admitted at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals for the past two and a half months.
She is appealing for financial help to buy Tafadzwa’s medication as well as paying for several scans.
Matutu said since 17 May 2021 when Tafadzwa was admitted to the hospital to 5 July, the cumulative bill has risen to ZWL$219 641.31. The bill is expected to go up as Tafadzwa is still admitted to the hospital.
Tafadzwa started to experience swelling in his body and was taken to a local clinic in Chendambuya, her mother said.
He was then referred to Rusape General Hospital, where they were further referred to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals for advanced medical care.
Matutu said according to doctors, Tafadzwa has kidney problems and he has been on dialysis eight (8) times.
Tafadzwa was operated on and the doctors inserted nephrostomy tubes and a catheter to drain urine directly from his kidneys.
Matutu is currently unemployed and lives in the rural areas. Her husband is also unemployed and has another family to take care of.
