Sekai receives help

TWENTY-FOUR-YEAR-OLD Sekai Parrafin who got her fingers and feet amputated is a happy woman.

Sekai received a wheel chair from Claire Gunha from Mt Pleasant.

“I am so grateful to what Ms Gunha has done for me. It is now easy for me to move around. The burden has also become lesser for my relatives,” she said.

Sekai’s story touched the heart of Claire who came to the woman’s rescue.

In less than a week, the woman with the heart of gold gave Sekai the brand new wheel chair.

“I am praying that God blesses Ms Gunha for what she has done. It is not every one who has such a kind heart,” said Tracy Maunganidze, who is Sekai’s sister.

Sekai who has had her bandages on the hands removed was glowing with joy and she said that she was not feeling any pain.

“At the present moment I am not feeling any pain,” she said as she sipped a soft drink

Mary Chimukanda who is Tracy’s friend also thanked Gunha,

“We are praying that God blesses her. The wheel chair has become very handy. I remember the last time she came here with Tracy, she needed help to move her around,” she said.

Sekai also took the time to express her wishes,

“I am now able to move around. I would like a pair of arms fitted with fingers so I can do things by myself and also help my sister,” she said.

The family is however still battling to pay out the hospital fees,

“We owe the hospital US$1 792 and we only paid US$50 so that they could discharge her. The total amount we owed was US$1 842,” she said.

Sekai also expressed how easy it was for her to travel,

“When we got off the bus at Mbare Musika I was put in my wheel chair and wheeled around unlike the Iast time I travelled on the bus.”

“My sister always used to carry me and it was becoming extremely difficult but today it was a flawless journey,” she said.
