HELP HELP A 26 YEARS OLD BEGGAR WHO HAS SKIN CANCER.
Annet Namakula is a 26 year old street beggar with skin cancer. The cancer is literally "Eating her alive." Apart from the cancer chewing both her hands (one grossly grotesque). Both her legs are unable to support her movement minus help from good Samaritan. As you can see in the picture above. She has no place to call a home. The street is her current place of abode. Today as I was going around with my errand in down town Kampala, I pass by her and my heart told me, "Teddy please do something for this lady, be the voice so that her pain and misery can come to an end."
I know she is not the first nor will she be the last to have or suffer from skin cancer, but I feel her case is extreme and needs our united support as children of God. At least most people who have different cancers have family and people by their side, let it be at home or in a hospital, but for her case she has absolutely no home and no family except the street and some good Samaritan. I gave her some small amount of money for her to get medicine and I brought her some fruits like passion fruits and guava. But that is not enough I kindly wants you and me out there to make her living condition better.
I implore upon able men and women of this planet earth to help her in any way possible, be it just talking to her, praying for her, providing her with a wheel chair and if you are a skin specialist for cancer, please render her your hand, lets all work together to end her pain. Those who can visit her at her place on the street , please feel free to go and let's make a different for her life, those that can offer her a bed, even if in their garage please do it or even rent her a small house. If you are serious inbox me so I take you to her begging spot on the street. I want to go back to her every day from tomorrow until something is done for her. She said all she knows are flies buzzing around her wounds as her friends. Please also the main stream media, kindly I implore you to highlight her plight. Why do we allow a fellow human being to wallow and rot right before our eyes, this is where God is testing our humanity.
I spent three hours with her today putting a smile on her face, I want her to know that there are people in this world who loves her. During the three hours I sat with her, I asked her some questions and here below is what she had to say.
She said that she hails from Nakaseke district. she is Buganda by tribe from the "Lugave clan". and in 2014 she attained a nursing certificate as a comprehensive enrolled nurse from KIWOKO NURSING SCHOOL. She had worked in kiboko hospital before the cancer that started as a boil worsen up.
Annet is a single mother of a 12 year old girl in primary seven (p.7) at Mother care primary school in Luwero district.
All her family rejected her, the man left, her two younger sisters who are married in the village, she says have husbands who don't want to see her within the compound given the nature of her smelling nasty cancerous wound.
Annet spent her day and night on a veranda next to Finca Bank which is the same building housing Mandela Auto spare and right opposite copper complex in Kampala city.
Her father that used to love her most pass on in 2016 leaving her alone with a mother who is on her deathbed with HIV and Aids, with no hope at all but "waiting to kick the bucket."
The cancer started two years ago, and she used to go to mulago hospital but given that she couldn't afford a better cancer treatment and food , she decided to come on the street to beg to get money for her daily dose of 500mg injectable AMPICLOX that cost her a whopping 7,000shs daily. The money she gets from good Samaritan who walk pass her is only enough for that ampliclox injection and some aid band plaster for dressing and a meal a day from the cheapest street vendor, that is why she spent a night on the street verandah.
When I asked her, what challenges she faced, she told the main one is, she lack a roof over her head, and if she had a clean bed and a house where she can rest, her wounds would have a faster healing process.
She said, the bad weather on the street present a harsh reality to her, the rain makes her shivers a lot given that she has no sweater and the last bed cover she was using to cover herself was stolen one night by those heinous boys who sniff paraffin and chew khat/ "miraa, marungii." Around town.
She can't walk on her own, even to go to use the washroom, some one has to help her, and one kind lady who sells a handful of second hand clothes opposite where Annet sit, is the one helping her with movement even to the public toilet that she pays 3,00ugx to access.
She said she is naturally strong in her spirit to over come the excruciating pain that she faces day and night.
She said that one month ago, a drunkard man wanted to rape her at night, before he could copulate her, she shouted at the top of her voice an an "Askari " of Finca Bank came to her rescue.
In her own word she said" I love God because God has kept me alive. How many rich people with a lot of money at their disposal are no longer alive yet me am here still breathing free oxygen, and I don't hate people, I have even forgiven my village people and family that left me in my hour of pain, be cause, its the very human people that God will use to help me or make my living condition better."
Her polite request is to have a good accommodation where she can rest and healed. And a wheel chair to help eased her movement. She also needs a good treatment, because, she believes when she is alive and kicking, she will resume working as a nurse in the village, where she will with God support treat many children, women and men.
She said, people really loves her, the neighborhood around Copper complex has men and ladies who watch her at day time so that no body can hurt her or steal the little she gets from begging .
An incidence happen one month ago, where by a stranger she met who acted as her friend ended up stealing the few coins she gathered for her amplicox injection and when people got to know, the lady was badly beaten.
Annet strike me as a benign person.
