Friends want to help Jose Chameleone, a famous singer from Uganda, feel better. He is in the hospital now.
The friends have an idea. They want to take him out of Nakasero Hospital in Kampala. They want to put him on a plane. They would fly him to another country for more help.
Sarah Zawedde is leading this group of friends. She has known Chameleone for a long time and is also a singer.
But the plan worries the doctors. They say Chameleone is very weak right now. A long flight could hurt him more. It could even put his life in danger.
"It is not safe to move him," said one doctor. "He is not strong enough yet."
Money is another problem. The friends want to take Chameleone to the United States, but they need to pay for special doctors to accompany him. Those doctors cost a lot.
The hospital says it can take good care of Chameleone and does not think he needs to leave. It has smart doctors and the right tools to help him.
Chameleone's son shared more news. His name is Abba Marcus Mayanja. He said his dad was sick because of drugs.
Abba asked fans to help his father. He wants everyone to work together.
"This is not about telling you to like my dad's drug use," Abba said. "This is about asking for help again. We need to come together as a family."
Abba is mad at some people. He says they are still making his dad sing at shows, even though Chameleone is sick. Abba thinks that is wrong and not safe.
Chameleone is loved by many in East Africa. His music makes people happy. He has been dealing with health issues for years.
His story makes people talk about important things. They are talking about drug use. They are also talking about how hard it is to find special doctors in Uganda.
Many people in the area are praying for Chameleone. They hope the famous singer gets better soon.
