The University of Zimbabwe’s former Dean of Students Dr. George Madzima is stranded in the United States where he was recently hospitalised.

Dr Madzima is seriously ill and is now in a hospice; his last wish is to see his mother in Zimbabwe. His family is campaigning to make that wish happen.

The family says “Last fall, George was suddenly hospitalised and spent four months in the hospital. His health has continued to deteriorate, eventually leaving him bedridden and under hospice care. We were able to find a location here in Texas that can keep him comfortable for now, but requires us to travel some distance. Our hope is to keep him comfortable while we quickly make arrangements to honour his last wishes.

His last wishes are to be with his mother who resides in Zimbabwe. We would appreciate any help you are able to provide and hope you will share with others who want to help. Please keep our family in your prayers.” To help Dr Madzima, click here.
