Subject: RE: EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND HOSPITAL BILL FUNDRAISING IN AID OF MY ELDER BROTHER, PETER ONYANGO BONYO
Dear Friends,
I greet you all.
May I bring to your attention the unique health experience I have been shouldering and that now need input from all my friends and relatives wherever they are.
My elder brother Peter, once a prominent lawyer in Nairobi, lost his job after getting into financial crisis in his law firm. This led to him being struck off the Roll of Advocates in september 2004.
In January 2009, he experienced a severe mental depression that led to him experiencing his first episode of schizophrenia. I admitted at him at Dr. Frank Njenga’s Chiromo Lane Medical Center in 11th January 2009 where he stayed until 31st January 2009 incurring a bill of Kshs. 139,000. So far I have paid Kshs. 103,000 single handedly.
On 27th July 2009, the case recurred and this time round it was quite acute. I took him to Kisii Level 5 Hospital Ward 10 where he is admitted to date. In the meantime, I have tried to address core c challenges that frequently lead him to nerval breakdown. The bill is now standing at Kshs. 50,000 and I will need a firther Kshs. 50,000 to reinstate him into Legal Practice as a long-term intervention to help check his depression permanently.
Please, contribute any amount that GOD might allow you via M-Pesa on Telephone Numbers: 0717 71 33 04/ 0724 752 458.
There will be a mini fundraising on 3rd September 2009 at Vesba Eating House at Development House, Mezzanine Floor along Moi Avenue in Nairobi starting 5:30pm.
You are most welcome,
Yours sincerely,
Richard Ochieng Bonyo,

SCHIZOPHRENIA
Richard, Sorry!
If it is indeed schizophrenia then you might in fact resign to his degenerating further with disease progress and this might mean that rehabilitating him back to practice law might will be very long quite a huge step to take.
You will have to raise quite a large some of money for his long term upkeep which means that your friends will have to take this matter as their own and contribute it not only appropriately but also generously.
Please note that I will make my contribution to the appeal within my ability in a not-too-distant future.
I am indeed with you in your suffering. All right-thinking people should contribute to this worthy cause since such a disease could befall any of us at any time without warning.
DR ODIDA OKUTHE.
