    Dear everyone,

    I'm saddened to share the news of Tsitsi's passing. No one should have to endure what she did. If she had received medical help sooner and had access to necessary resources, her life might have been prolonged. Thank you all for your kindness, prayers, and well-wishes. The donations you gave helped cover Tsitsi's medical expenses and pain relief during her palliative care, with the remaining funds supporting her funeral arrangements. I'm forever grateful for your generosity, and I know Tsitsi appreciated each and every one of you. Let's carry forward this kindness beyond Tsitsi and continue to honor her memory. Tsitsi, you were incredibly brave and strong, a young life taken too soon before you could fulfill your wishes and dreams, words can't describe the loss. May your soul rest in eternal peace. Fly high our angel.

    Hi all, unfortunately Tsitsi is now in paliative. Due to her frail state, proceeding with treatment will do more harm than good. Thank you all for your support, well wishes and kindness. We are now focusing on offering her support to make her as comfortable as possible given the tough circumstances and condition she is in.

  • Tsitsi's update

      1 October 2023

    Hi, everyone. Regrettably, Tsitsi's surgery, scheduled for the 28th of September, had to be canceled due to concerning health developments that made it unsafe for the doctors to proceed. She has been referred to oncologists for additional assessments this coming week, potentially leading to the commencement of chemotherapy.Thank you for your donations. Please share the page. Tsitsi can use all the prayers and financial aid we can get. Thank you all.

  • Tsitsi admitted for initial surgery

      28 September 2023

    Tsitsi was admitted to hospital yesterday and set to undergo surgery on Thursday Zimbabwean time. The medical team will be addressing the infected wound and removing a second layer of cancer that was found beneath it. Additionally, they have identified more cancer cells on her face that will need attention in the future. It's a challenging journey for young Tsitsi, but we remain hopeful and keep her in our prayers. We extend our gratitude to all those who have contributed to this cause. May God bless each one of you.
