Dennis Odongo

July 12, 2008 by Suubi Trust

Lucy has now returned to the UK and has sent some photos of Dennis with his cousin Jimmy…

Ha, you’d never guess it but Dennis has made an amazing transformation! After the surgery, he had more chemo and the tumor is ready for the second de-bulking surgery; it’s fantastic that it is so soon. He may need radiotherapy but is happy about how he is feeling now, mindless of the side effects of the chemo. Today, I gave him a puzzle and a teddy… he laughed so much, it made everyone else in the room laugh too. He has completly filled the colouring book that Jenny gave him and it has become his prized possession. How nice it is to see just how much he and Jimmy, his cousin, treasure every single gift they are given, including this course of treatment.

I didn’t manage to get one of them together looking at the camera but after teaching them what to do with the puzzle took this one. (My sister sent some puzzles away to an orphanage and as noone had seen one before, they shared it out so each child had a piece each, not really understanding what it was for but all the same, each child was very pleased with their piece).

He will probably stay in Hope ward until September. I will send Jimmy home for a few weeks after Dennis’s operation, which is on the 16th of July. The commitment he has shown for caring for Dennis is amazing. They are both such a pleasure to meet.

Thank you everyone.

    It begins with a dream, and then a reality!!! To leave amongst this great vision of love and giving has made a difference in my life and so many others. We cant change the world at once but we can by putting a smile on one face at a time. This is happening, e.g Dennis. I bet his family has nothing but praise, hope, blessings and love for everyone that did participate to their child’s life, giving him another day to live. I am humbled at such support. This is what the world needs, love and unity. We all need to fight together to make a difference to those in need. Thanks to all volunteers, Medical personnel’s, sponsors and especially Dr. Ian Clarke, for his big heart. opening up his Home and Hospital to better others. The vision that he has and partly fulfilled. All we have are blessings for favour, good health, peace, patience and wisdom. Big Uups to the Hopeward, suubitrust and everyone that has seen to its success!!! Bless you all.
