With a hopeful heart, I’m asking for some support for Aaban’s grandmother — a woman who means so much to our family and to me personally. She is one of the strongest women I know.
She has raised five children, helped raise many grandchildren, and spent years working tirelessly as a single mother in Uganda to build a life from nothing. She has always been the person caring for everyone else, giving what she could even when she had very little herself. She is one of the most generous people I know and meeting her changed the course of my life and inspired me to be a better person
Now she is seriously unwell.
In Uganda, there is no free healthcare and very limited medical support available. There’s also no pension or government assistance for people unable to work. To receive the care she needs, she must travel to Kenya for treatment and further medical support. The costs are overwhelming for the family — including travel, accommodation, food, medical appointments, scans, medications, and support for the family member travelling with her to help care for her.
Every contribution genuinely makes a difference.
Around $20 AUD can help provide food for two days
Around $50 AUD can help contribute towards medications or doctor’s fees
Larger donations will help with travel and ongoing treatment costs
If you are in a position to help, no matter how small, we would be deeply grateful. And if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser means so much too.
This is not an easy thing to ask for. I would love nothing more than to visit and support her myself, but right now every dollar feels more important going towards helping her access the care she needs.
She is deeply loved, and we are doing everything we can to keep her safe, supported, and alive.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for any support you can offer
