"Helloo Safaricom, I am Maurice Ochieng known as Danny Miles. I am from Muhoroni town. In March last year, I was diagnosed with cancer, soft tissue sarcoma.
It’s eating me up for sure. Day by day I am feeling. I had been saving so that I take my small family to a vacation but I have been drained. I can't. I am living with the help of friends. My young Daughter Britney Dova is still young. She has not started school yet.
I was planning but I am sorry I have failed as a dad. Had my left arm chopped off but still the cancer metastased. I am appealing to you to just help my daughter once I am gone because I can feel it."
Danny Miles' widow, Florence Akoth Odege is appealing for emotional, mental, spiritual and financial support so that she can give her beloved husband a good send-off.
The mother of one said she is overwhelmed and drained emotionally.
