Dear Jonathan,
On behalf of the committee and the entire basketball player community, we are reaching out to send you our deepest solidarity, strength, and prayers during this challenging time. We have launched a community drive to help cover the 12 million medical bills.π
Jonathan Oketch (Timaya) is currently battling for his life at C-Care Hospital, Mukono. Although he successfully underwent surgery, he remains in critical condition and is unable to sustain himself without oxygen support. As of yesterday, the hospital reported that he was still on oxygen, and the medical bill had risen to UGX 8.8 million and still increasing .
His family is struggling to raise the required funds, and I humbly appeal to anyone who can spare something to support our brother during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go a long way.
Those who are able are also encouraged to visit him at C-Care Mukono to offer moral and emotional support to both Jonathan and his family. His phone is currently switched off, but he can be reached through his mother's contact details provided on the poster.
Thank you, and may God bless you for your kindness and support.
