“Eve’s sickness started as a joke because i remember she was coming from a show then ended up at Malcolm. She started being on and off . During the lockdown period she was struggling badly for medical bills and health wise so one morning i thought of starting up a fundraiser for her i called my good friend professor walusimbi and asked him if he would help me he said it was okay but i should first consult the family.
