Our beloved nephew is fighting for his life, and we are asking for your support. Having previously lost one kidney whilst in Eritrea in 2022, he was living with only one remaining kidney.

His mother (Silas Katama) had already been confirmed as a compatible kidney donor, but the transplant could not proceed because of the high cost and limited specialist expertise available.

Following recent laser surgery on, June 2026, his remaining kidney in Nairobi, Kenya, he developed life-threatening complications, requiring ventilation in ICU, ongoing blood transfusions, and doctors are treating fluid affecting his lungs.

Per medico-surgical advice (referral), he urgently needs advanced specialist treatment, which may include a kidney transplant at a hospital outside Kenya. The estimated cost of treatment, travel, and ongoing care exceeds AUD$180,000.00 far beyond what our family can afford.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help give him a chance to survive. If you're unable to donate, please share this fundraiser with others.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this time.
