Subject: VOFCIN Flood Victims Fundraiser Update
Dear VOFCIN Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am pleased to inform you that the VOFCIN Flood Victims Fundraiser has entered the actualizing stage. Our collective efforts are making a significant impact, and I want to share a specific case with you.
We are currently assisting a family from Gitaru, Kenya, who tragically lost their father a few months ago. He was a dedicated watchman at a local school when he was senselessly murdered. Left behind are his widow and two daughters, who have been deeply affected by the recent floods. Their mental well-being is at risk, and they are struggling to cope with the loss.
Our chairman personally visited the family, verifying their need for assistance. Thanks to the Flood Victims Kitty, we can now provide crucial support to this grieving family. Hereβs what weβre doing:
β’ Food Support: We are ensuring that the family has access to nutritious meals during this difficult time.
β’ Mental Health Checkups and Treatment: The family will receive professional mental health assessments and necessary treatment at Mathare Mental Hospital.
β’ Transport Assistance: We are arranging transportation to and from the hospital for their appointments.
β’ Post-Clinical Follow-ups: The girls will receive ongoing support to help them overcome their psychological distress.
One of the upcoming clinics is scheduled for Wednesday, June 12th. Your continued support is invaluable, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all VOFCIN members and friends who have contributed to the Flood Victims Fundraiser. Your generosity is making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
May your kindness be multiplied a hundredfold, and may favorable winds always guide your way.
