In 2013 my father Eng. Maccerlino may his soul rest in peace was first diagnosed with gastrointestinal tumor (GIST) a form of cancer that affects the intestines/stomach, we went to a number different public and private hospitals for treatment and ultimately the doctors recommended that the tumor be cut off and tested for cancer they we were sent to a private hospital called Paragon hospital in Bugolobi Kampala where this treatment and operation was done this was very costly but as a family we were ready to have this operation done.
From 2013 up to 2020 my father was in and out of hospital trying to manage the cancer however with all our efforts and the treatment he final passed on the 11th of August 2020 it was at 7:25pm at the Mulago cancer institute Kampala Uganda he was pronounced dead the cause of death was the GIST cancer and pneumonia and that was the beginning of all our family problems and financial crisis.
After his death we spent a lot of money clearing his hospital bill before the hospital could release his body to us, we further incurred more costs paying for funeral expenses during and after his burial after his passing we realized he had left unpaid bank loan of 200million Uganda shillings at Centenary bank Kampala we had to clear this bank loan with interest because he was above the insurable age.
Our stepbrother Nicholas also went ahead and put a Cavet in court to block our application to get letters of probate he is challenging our father’s Will because he wasn’t named as a heir in the said Will, and this infuriated him as the eldest son he believes that he is the only that deserves to inherit our fathers’ things. (This is an African mentality some people have) because of this he manipulated the Clan leaders to support him in his barbarism the case is currently at the high court which also requires a good amount of money to pay for the Servies of a good lawyer.
Our stepbrother immediately started to fight for the family property my father had 2 wives and had built a semi -detached house one side for my mother and her children the other side was for my stepmother and her children. Now my step brother called Nichlous odgong decided to break the wall that was separating the 2 houses to make it one house so as to claim it as his own house , and threw out my old mother and her children out of the house in the process he destroyed our property and without mercy threw out our Funiture, tv and fridge and cooking things and our belonging claiming the house is his and he wants us out, my mother cried out heart to God and to her late husband in pain as our stepbrother Nicholus took pleasure in seeing her pain he laughed at us and took a video of my crying mother falling on the ground helplessly. (imagine this is our own stepbrother doing all this)
We reported the issue to the local police of the area who arrested him and was charged with 1. Malicious damage 2. Trespass 3. Melding with the Estate of the deceased. but was released on bond after 2 days ,The police in Gulu asked him to stop what he was doing but he still refused, the government then took up the case with the DPP Office of the (director of public prosecutions) in Uganda the case has been going on well, however he went and bribed one of the officer InCharge of the case we were shocked to recently find out the case was closed for luck of evidence which reason is not valid enough because sufficient evidence on the file. we current need money to hire a lawyer for this case expedite this case privately.
This is the worse time of my life and my family especially my mother. we are hardworking people i have 2 younger brothers and 3 sisters we current live in a small, rented house in Kanyanya Uganda,
Because of this we lost our business which we were doing in the capital of Kampala since our expenses was more than my income from the business i couldn’t pay rent anymore, and ultimately i wasn’t able to rent the shop anymore so the business came to an end, i have currently decided to sell my products online and on social media flat forms which is not as effective as having a physical location, also as a family we have since adjusted our life style we eat one meal a day we struggle with paying for rent since we were thrown out of our fathers house.
I therefore kindly request for financial help of 150,000US dollars that will be able facilitate legal fees to settle this family dispute, cover housing rent for atleast one year as we recover and also establish back our business so that we can get back to our feet and give my family a fresh start.
