Attorney Kamau's Medical & Welfare Fund

For those of you who reside in Worcester (Massachusetts, USA), there’s a high likelihood that your paths have crossed with our very own resident Attorney  Njoroge Kamau.

Njoroge is a Husband to Florence Njoroge and a father to 3 adorable children (aged 17, 14 & 6 - two adorable girls and a son)
About a decade ago he was diagnosed with a debilitating disease, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)  aka Lou Gehrig’s disease. ALS is an auto immune disease that weakens muscles and impacts physical function. More than half of all people with ALS live more than three years after diagnosis. Once ALS starts, it almost always progresses, eventually taking away the ability to walk, dress, write, speak, swallow, and breathe and shortening the life span.

Throughout his diagnosis, Njoroge did not slow down in running his law firm. He worked hard and diligently to help and assist those in need of his expertise. You would hardly tell that he was battling ALS as his passion for work distracted him from thinking about this irreversible diagnosis. 

Njoroge and his family researched the treatment options and have tried many therapies. The first break was in Mexico where they offer bone marrow cell treatments and the great success they have had with patients afflicted with ALS.  The average annual expenses for Njoroge’s treatment thus far in the last 8 years has been around $90,000 donated by family members. This cost includes treatment in Mexico for the bone marrow cell treatment every 3 months and this has been his saving grace. We can say with confidence that this treatment has helped him improve and slow down the progression of the debilitating ALS disease.

 In March of 2019, Njoroge got a pneumonia attack leaving him very weak to return to work. He is however recovering very well with his wife as a primary caretaker.

We the organizing committee are reaching out to the community at large to assist Kamau and his family in prayers to maintain his weakened health and financially to offset the insurmountable costs that have plagued the family.

We will have a fundraiser to be held late summer September 21st 2019.
Venue Address: Salem Covenant Church, 215 Mountain Street, Worcester, MA 01606.

Thank you for your support.
