Mary was admitted to a national school – Bunyore Girls High School in Vihiga county. 

Unfortunately, she has not started secondary school as her cancer treatment started immediately. 

The family raised Sh1.9 million from well-wishers which facilitated Mary’s travel to India where she underwent treatment for a total of 11 weeks. The culmination was a limp salvage surgery on March 4. 

The treatment has placed financial pressure on the family and are seeking help from well-wishers to raise money for follow-up chemotherapy sessions.
