Save Jeremiah Car Wash Fundraiser to be hosted at Emblem Lounge And Car Wash this Saturday

This Saturday all roads lead to Emblem Lounge And Car Wash Mpererwe along Gayaza Road for ‘Save Jeremiah Car Fundraiser’ as his parents seek 22m for his heart surgery at Mulago Heart Institute.

Emblem Lounge & Car Wash Mpererwe is located along Gayaza Road between Byaru and Stabex Petrol stations opposite Katalemwa Makerere Estate.

The car wash will start from 9am to 6pm.

Jeremiah’s father, Mr Julius Ndyayebwanta, a boda-boda motorist from Kabwohe town told of how he is stuck with the three-year-old son and only looks up to well-wishers to have his son’s life saved.

Ndyayebwanta says that he didn’t know his child was born with a heart problem and after reaching out to almost all big hospitals for treatment but in vain, it was last month (20th December 2023) when he was told that his child needed heart surgery to be healed.

“Reaching the Uganda Heart Institute, they told 22 million shillings were required to carry it out,” Ndyayebwanta narrates, adding that although they have sought help from family and friends, they have been unable to raise all the money required.

Ndyayebwanta says when he went back to Sheema, he tried to look for money through his bodaboda business but failed to raise the required amount yet the situation of his son is worsening day after day.

“I sometimes feel like giving up on treating my own child but whenever I see him lying on the bed in pain, I cry since he is the only son I have,” he says.

Medical documents seen indicate that Jeremiah’s heart operation is scheduled to be carried out on January 16, 2024, implying the over shs15 m pending has to be raised within 10-12 days to save the toddler.
