In Ngachura, Nakuru County, a family of ten is facing an unimaginable struggle as they care for five children living with severe cerebral palsy in a single-room home. The children, unable to walk, speak, or fully comprehend their surroundings, require round-the-clock care, placing an overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial burden on their parents.
The family, consisting of eight children—five boys and three girls—has been grappling with the realities of the rare and debilitating condition that has left the children entirely dependent on their mother for every aspect of their daily lives. Three of the boys need continuous caregiving, and their medical needs are growing with each passing day.
As the situation becomes increasingly dire, the family has appealed to well-wishers for prayers, financial assistance, and any support that could help them provide a better life for their children. The parents, with limited income, are finding it difficult to meet the growing medical expenses, and the lack of space in their one-room home is adding to the stress of caregiving.
This heartbreaking story has captured the attention of many, including YouTuber Jeremy Damaris, who shared the family’s plight in a recent post. The family’s struggle is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those living with disabilities, and their desperate call for support highlights the need for greater awareness and assistance for families in similar situations.
As the community comes together in sympathy, there is hope that well-wishers will offer both financial and emotional support to help this family live with dignity and provide the children with the care they desperately need.
