Two years ago, I was lying outside Parliament with 3 bullets in my back. The doctors told the media I would not make it. Today, I am recovering from bladder surgery, and in just 2 days, Kenyans have raised KSh 230,000 for my recovery.
I honestly don't have the words. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I am still here, and for the first time, I believe I can get my life back.
The surgery is done, but my recovery is just starting. I have extended my goal to KSh 500,000 to cover physiotherapy, medication, and follow-up care for my spinal cord injury.

This is me right now. Two years ago I was shot during the June 25 Gen Z protests. I've been living with a spinal cord injury since, and I self-catheterize because of neurogenic bladder.
That led to recurring UTIs and sepsis. Today I successfully underwent surgery at Emory Hospital Nairobi to remove a bladder stone at my left vesico-ureteric junction (5x7mm). The fragments were removed. I'm recovering now with some pain and bleeding, which the doctors say is normal.
@VOCALAfrica_ helped me get here, and I'm grateful. But I still need medication, physiotherapy and follow-up care. I still haven't received any government compensation.
I'm sharing this because I need help for what comes next. Any support means everything. ๐๐ฝ
