Campaign Story
An URGENT appeal for assistance for Brenda Guantai who suffers from Myasthenia gravis (MG). Brief description: MG is a long-term neuromuscular disease that leads to varying degrees of skeletal muscle weakness. The most commonly affected muscles are those of the eyes, face, and swallowing. It can result in double vision, drooping eyelids, trouble talking, and trouble walking. Brenda requires about $2000 to undergo Thymectomy at the Karen Hospital in Nairobi. This is one of the main treatment methods for myasthenia gravis. It is a surgical procedure where the thymus gland is removed to stop the production of autoantibodies that mistakenly attack the muscle-nerve connections in myasthenia gravis patients.
