“Urgent blood donation appeal🚨

“NTV Editor Janet Chapia was admitted at Meridian Equator Hospital in Nairobi West and in urgent need of blood. Any blood group will suffice,” read an update from NTV.

Chapia who is an editor at NTV has been hospitalized at a time another journalist – Catherine Kasavuli is battling cancer at the Kenya National Hospital.

For the past few weeks, friends, colleagues, and family have been running a fundraiser to help foot Kasavuli’s hospital bill.

In November, Kasavuli penned six lessons she has learnt from her Hospital bed.

Lessons Kasavuli has learnt in the last couple of months; -

1. Your family is all you got at the end of the day, make peace with them, and try to be in good books with them. Even if you feel otherwise.
2. Always depend on your Higher Power, pray for as much as you can, at least while you have the strength.
3. If you have at least 2 friends or colleagues you can always count on, appreciate them. They're very rare.
4. Don't lose hope, keep on believing, and hope courageously.
5. Love your body, treasure it.
6. Finally always do good, it will always come back to you, eventually. Thank you, good people,".

Kasavuli is hospitalized at the Kenyatta National Hospital, private Wing after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.

"I know I'll fight this. I am currently getting ready for a phase two procedure," she said.

She has been at the facility since October 26, 2022
