Potential Recipient of Wheelchairs

[Peter Mbuchi Methu]

Dear President Elect Kathy and fellow Rotarians,

Following is an update on potential beneficiaries of the donated wheelchairs. 

1. Master Francis Ndurumo Karue - A pupil with special needs learning at PEMA School whose parents live in City Carton;
2. Mr Kariuki (1924) living with Roseline at City Carton whose photograph is already circulated to the club members (he already uses one of the wheelchairs;
3. Three persons (two teenage girls and an adult male) with disabilities presented by Jeniffer Wangui through the local Divisional Officer for Bahati - Photographs already circulated to the members. These persons and their families live within Eastlands;
4. Mrs Eudia Atieno Wanjara (85) living at City Carton with her daughter Carolyn Akinyi. Eudia was bitten by a snake 27 years ago and has been undergoing treatment since then. For the last five years, she cannot walk any more and her daughter who is extremely vulnerable has had to care for her. Eudia's arms are strong enough to use the wheelchair to move around the house and beyond;
5. David Eshiteti Mutende, unmarried victim of polio living in Kakamega (Bukura Division) as a village cobra but with relatives here in Buruburu Phase II - We have photograph of of him taken by a neighbour using mobile phone;
6. Zipporah Mwothiru (70-74 years of age) is a victim of acute rheumatism and lives in Igembe North. Her son in law is a pastor of the Methodist Church here in Buruburu where he is also engaged in community service. The family is willing to organize for transport here on the day of presentation - if absolutely required by the club; 
7. Ms Kabui (45), mother of a teenage daughter with serious mental disabilities. Kabui is a victim of polio but very determined to support herself and her daughter. She lives in Ndumberi, Kiambu, but has relatives living in Buruburu Phase II. Members of the community are willing to bring her here on the presentation day - once again if absolutely required but an old photograph is available.

Fellow Rotarians, I have been explain to the relatives and potential beneficiaries that the club is using two criteria: absolute need of the wheelchair and inability to acquire one. I hope the club will favourably assess the cases and step in with the greatly needed assistance. 

Yours in Rotary,

Peter Mbuchi

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

The handing over of wheelchairs yesterday was a heart-rendering event especially to know that we can put a smile of somebody's face.

Allow me to voice my feelings about Emmy whose name was proposed on the onset of this offer, was subsequently visited and had her pictures taken as authentic proof of her status.  This was followed by what I would term as an unfortunate situation of lack of "cooperation" from her mother on the day of handing over the wheelchairs.  In my view Emmy would still be a legitimate beneficiary of the Wheel Chair.  It is strange that a mother of a child in need of a functional wheelchair would refuse to bring the child whereas she was in agreement with the offer.  There could be an underlying reason which we are not able to unearth.  

Whereas it might not be within our mandate to follow-up on this rather strange reaction by Emmy's mother, It would be unfortunate if Emmy would be denied the opportunity on the basis of a situation she is not in control of. 

In Rotary spirit I remain

With kind regards,

Joyce
