Community Appeal: Prayers & Fundraising to help meet medical expenses of Beatrice Ihwagi of Lowell,Massachusetts

Beatrice Ihwagi, 50 a long time resident of Lowell Massachusetts,a mother of four children,Ruth,Ornan,Netta and Hanna  and a very active member of the Kenyan community, was diagnosed with a rare form of Kidney disease in 2010.

She’s been undergoing treatment in the local hospitals.

Unfortunately in December 2014, her renal function worsened and was subsequently diagnosed with stage 5 Kidney failure,thus necessitating Dialysis and/or Kidney transplant from a suitable donor.

She is currently in the process of undergoing rigorous testing including 3 surgeries in the last 7 months to place an emergency fistula and grafts in case of needed emergency dialysis.

She has not been able to return to work since December,2014

Anyone who knows Beatrice Ihwagi can agree with me that she is the most selfless,generous and caring kindred soul.
