Dear Kenyan Friends, My name is David Kimani and i live in Nairobi. I have a personal situation and i am looking for the help of all friends and well wishers. My son Brian Kiriro is very ill and required specialised treatment in the USA that is costing about US$30,000 (Kshs.2.2m) for one year and the costs may go up if it extends beyond one year.
