The late Achieng Abura, a former TPF judge who passed on last week, had set up an online fund on M-Changa to raise funds for her son, Prince Abura’s treatment.
The online fund dubbed ‘The Prince Abura Sickle Fund’ is aimed to raise KSh 4,000,000 (about Ugx 136 million).
A post on the online fund reads;
“My son Prince was born with Sickle Cell Anemia. About five years ago, it got complicated with a heart disorder that has kept him in chronic crises and is now affecting other organs. The disorder can be treated and we have assistance from a facility in London to treat him at almost no cost as it is a very expensive procedure.”
“However, we are raising funds to enable the other costs such as the airlift and recuperation requirements. I believe that he will be able to live a normal life after he gets this treatment and seek your kind assistance towards this. I have tried to raise funds twice before but both times were totally unsuccessful. I am not giving up. I know that we can raise this money and will not stop till I get him the treatment he needs. I need your kind assistance.”
Prince had received a scholarship for his studies but failed to start due to the illness.
