Gift Maina Mebble’s Story
Name: Gift Maina Mebble
Age: 3 years
Gender: Male
Location: Etumbu, Emuhaya, Vihiga, Kenya
About Gift
Meet Gift Maina Mebble, a delightful and courageous 3-year-old boy who brings joy and laughter to his family despite the numerous challenges he faces. Gift is the fifth of six siblings and lives with his family in Etumbu, a small village in Emuhaya, Vihiga. His family’s financial struggles have not dampened his spirit, and he continues to fight against the odds with a smile on his face.
Health Challenges
Gift was born with cerebral palsy and developed epilepsy when he was two years old. These conditions have significantly impacted his development and daily activities. He struggles with basic activities such as sitting, holding items, and standing, and he requires constant supervision and assistance.
Gift’s health is fragile due to his epileptic condition, which requires regular medical attention. He attends physiotherapy clinics and epilepsy clinics to manage his conditions. Despite these challenges, Gift shows remarkable resilience and is learning to cheer, carol, and perform basic activities with the help of his parents and physiotherapists.
Daily Life and Aspirations
Gift’s family, led by his parents Francis Maina and Catherine Mebble, works tirelessly to provide for him and his siblings. They own a small piece of land where they grow bananas, maize, and beans, but their income is insufficient to cover Gift’s extensive medical needs. The family’s financial situation makes it difficult to provide Gift with the necessary treatments and support.
Gift’s daily routine includes physiotherapy sessions and training for Activities of Daily Living (ADL). These sessions are crucial for his development, helping him gain more independence and manage his condition better. However, the cost of ongoing treatment is a significant burden on his family.
