“At KNH, we had appointments twice a month, and we used to spend a lot, and it finally drained us because of consultations and tests,” added her mother.
Kendi’s mother said that the problem came when Kendi was 14 years old, and when the problem came, it stopped periods from passing through, meaning that it interfered with other systems; she cannot pass urine or stool, and the bladder became distended because of excess urine.
“The problem started when she was 14 years old, and we are really asking for help to finish this problem; we are asking for help, and no amount is too small,” added the concerned mum.
How will Kendi get help?
Kendi is set to go and get help for her condition at KNH thanks to Senator Tabitha Mutinda, who linked her to the Gynaecological Society of Kenya.
“She needs more than 10 doctors to work on her,”Obidan told NgGossips.
