The family of a Zimbabwean student in China, Brendon Anesu Gumbo is asking assistance to cover medical bills amount to $5,000.

The student, Brendon, was in a coma after suffering lung failure and is currently admitted at Red Cross Hospital in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, China.

Said his mother Demetria Gumbo: “Brendon got a lung infection three months ago that is early January 2019 and we only got to realise it a week back when he had lung failure and immediately got into a coma. We thank God that he has managed to allow him to open his eyes on his hospital bed showing some recovery. This improvement brings some relief to his family and friends

“The family is trying to make sure that he gets all the medication that he needs however, it is not so easy and funds are running short for him to continue on the life saving machines. It is our engraved plea, from the bottom of our hearts, in solace with the family that you assist with prayer for Brendon and any amount that you can give if possible for us to help give life to him. We would be very grateful for your support in this time of need. Thank you may God bless your gift and add more to that which you have given.”
