"He Lives in Pain Every Day — But We Can Help Brian Heal”

A young man from Nakuru is pleading for help to undergo a life-changing operation after years of silent suffering

For years, Brian Lang’at lived with excruciating abdominal pain, constantly dismissed and misdiagnosed with ulcers. But the real culprit — a pancreatic pseudocyst — was silently worsening inside him. By the time doctors finally identified the condition, the damage was already unbearable.

Today, Brian lives in constant pain. Every day, he endures opioid injections just to function. He has a cannula permanently inserted into his hand, changed every 2 to 3 days — a process so frequent that his veins are now severely damaged. His left hand is so swollen and weak, he can hardly lift anything. This isn’t the life of a normal young man — it’s a daily struggle to survive.

Yet despite all this, Brian hasn’t lost hope. And neither should we.

Thanks to a few kind-hearted individuals, an online appeal raised Ksh. 7,000. It’s a start — and it proves that people care. But the goal is far from being reached. Brian needs Ksh. 500,000 to begin urgent treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). This amount would cover his specialized operation and offer him a shot at living pain-free — something he hasn’t experienced in years.

How You Can Help?

This weekend, we’re calling on you — and your friends, your WhatsApp groups, your community — to help us raise at least 10–20% of the target. Even a small contribution of Ksh. 50, 100, 500, or 1,000 will go a long way. No amount is too little when it comes from the heart.

If you already gave, thank you. If you’re able, consider giving again. And please, tag five friends, share this story, and let’s get Brian the help he urgently needs.
