After posting this story and the appeal for help, one lady was touched so much that she swung into action with a deliberate aim of helping the two girls. Wambui Kamau of Virginia was able to get a contact in Nairobi who has been assisting in monitoring the girl’s situation and delivering the immediate help needed. She has also managed to talk with the Good Samaritan woman housing the girls, the mother of the girls and also has been talking to the girls regularly for encouragement.
Though she wants to help the girls, the task is enormous for one person to handle and we are requesting for anybody else who is touched to join wambui kamau in this worthy cause. Please use this forum to suggest and offer ideas of what can be done.
Here below are some communications of what wambui has been doing:

I have established contact and I actually talked to the 12 year old with a tumor and her mother too. Teresa Bogomba Kibwaro is the Good Samaritan Lady who has taken the girls in, she is a total stranger to them but is willing to keep them until they can get help. Teresa’s number is 712-625-518...I have started talking to a number of my friends regarding looking for funds to send these girls to the Doctor ASAP, they have an immediate need for food and bus fare and I think between a few of us we should send Jayne some money so that we can keep Teresa the good Samaritan woman encouraged to keep feeding them while we look for solutions to have the tumors removed...let us keep praying and working with our heads...this wall can be built
For our God, like Nehemiah did, let us pray and work as well.

I pray you are all well. Yesterday I managed to get contacts for the various
Doctors that are handling the surgery on the Boy with a skin condition and also spoke to the Administrator of the main Doc. However, this Doc. only handles skin related conditions. This morning I am on the track pursuing information on the Girls Mum through Friends that live in that neighborhood as well as TV stations. I am sure I will get the contacts within the weekend or by early next week. Indeed God is still at work and I am convicted we will get the information we need.

I trust God overwhelmed you this last week-end with his goodness and tender
Mercies. All is well and I hope you have good news for us. I believe you were able to make contact with Teresa Kibwaro, the Good Samaritan Woman who has housed 12 year old Phyllis and 5 year old Dorris together with their destitute mother. I have started to talk to a number of friends and we are all trying to come up with a workable date to meet at someone's house and brain-storm as to how we can raise funds for the Surgery to remove the tumors from the under-belly of those two precious girls.
I wanted to know if you probably can
Find out if they even have bus-fare....what of the estimate cost of the
surgery...how much are we looking to probably attempt to raise?... including therapy sessions after the tumors have been removed....as you approach the Doctors/Surgeons try and find out which among them would be willing to sacrifice and treat them either for free or with the least Fee so that if we have any cash left over after buying the medications, then we can continue to support the two girls until they are able to play and attend school like normal children

Hi Wambui,
***************************************************************************
Many thanks for your two emails. I will do my best to get you what you need. My Friend was very well received by Mama Esther, the Girls and Teresa. They were so excited and even had time to pray together. Incidentally Mama Esther has 7; children in total - 5 of them are upcountry in Kisii and are also trying to survive on their own. My Friend is also called Esther and a Pastor. She also counseled the Ladies a bit - not to really expose the Girls so much because not everyone will be there to assist them. Yesterday they Girls were X-rayed and the Doc’s Report is yet to be given. They were given an appointment for Dec. but that I will pursue when I see the Doc. so that he can change the date. About sending support for the Girls, I would suggest you try before Thursday as Mama Esther advised my Friend that she was
Planning to travel on Friday.

NEW MESSAGE TODAY-06.16.09
Phyllis and Dorris, our Kenyan girls with huge tumors below their small belly's were x-rayed today and given an appointmen for December, Isaac this is unacceptable. I wish we had a way to expedite their treatment, if anyone out there will listen with their heart we could all get united and save this two little girls from such untold misery...Jayne spent the evening with them at their Host's room in Ongate Rongai today and someone else had gone over on Sunday night and prayed with them and also did some Nakumart shopping for food .
We have also made plans for Jayne to buy them trouser-pants so that they can keep warm when they have to take their clothes off for photographs or doctor's examinations, after all they are girls and only the tumors need be exposed...Esther, the mother needs a mobile phone ASAp so that she can be accessible......Isaac, I have Jayne's mobile if you need it..she will E-mail me the results of the X-rays overnight and I will forward them to you ....to God Almighty be all the Glory for the Things He alone has done and will do !!!
