Kibera widower Alfred Odhiambo who mesmerised Kenyans hospitalised

NAIROBI: About four years ago KTN featured a resilient widower from Kibera who for five years had raised his two children alone following the death of his wife after delivering the youngest.

The widower, Alfred Odhiambo has been working as a cobbler in Otiende, Langata Estate Nairobi. From his income and occasional assistance from those who admired his resolve, Alfred continued to raise his children, Tony and Marion all of whom are now in school.

However, for the last one month Alfred has been in and out of hospitals, on Saturday morning he was admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital for further tests and treatment.

His family is seeking assistance to facilitate treatment so that he can get back to his feet and continue with his dream of bringing up his children till they are independent as he vowed to do when he was widowed. The family can be reached on this number 0724290694.
