An elderly man in Zomba is in a bad spot trying to care for his older sister. Cidreck Chitera, 84, looks after his 88-year-old sister, Aidah Cidreck. They live in Masaula village under a local leader named Lawudoni. She has a swollen leg and cannot walk. They have almost no food or decent bedding.
Her left leg swelled up when she got sick almost a year ago. The brother has been her only caretaker since then. He does casual labor and fetches water, but money is nonexistent. They sometimes go entire days without a meal. He uses torn cloths to cover her because they have no proper blankets. He wants to get her to Zomba Central Hospital, but he cannot afford it. The lack of funds is the core issue.
His daughter, Maria Chitera, also feels the strain. She stated the situation burdens her greatly. She helps but cannot handle everything alone due to her own tough circumstances. The family is making a public appeal for any assistance. They need medical help and better living conditions for Aidah. People who want to help can contact Maria Chitera directly using her phone number, 0888067236.
