Baby Makatendeka still needs help

ZIMBABWE, remember baby Thayel Makatendeka Botsa we published in December last year while she was in urgent need to undergo liver transplant in India!

The cause is still urgent.

In fact, time is no longer on her side and her parents are still seeking help to save life of the minor, who is now 10 months old.

Makatendeka's mother Adelaide Botsa last week told H-Metro that they have only managed to raise $2500 so far.

However, they need US$50 000 to cover her medical and travel expenses after she diagnosed of Jaundice (Liver Cirrhosis and Billiary Atresia).

"We only managed to raise $2500 so far out of the $50 000 needed. We are still appealing to people to help.

"The donations are so far coming in small denominations and some of the organisations are promising.

"It's now two months still we started the campaign to raise funds and I just pray that everything goes according to plan," she said.

She added: "The transplant is due but funding is the challenge. She was booked on 30th of November 2016 hoping that the funds would be available but we had to cancel.

"It's written in Jeremiah 32 verse 17, "Ah Lord God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, (and) there is nothing too hard for thee." With all the Mighty power from God, we can."

Thayel Makatendeka was diagnosed as having severe Jaundice after her birth and it turned out to be more serious life threatening ailment after a liver biopsy.

She was diagnosed with consistent Liver Cirrhosis and Billiary Atresia, a condition that requires a liver transplant for her survival.

Her father, Richard Kumbirai Botsa, has volunteered to donate part of his liver.
