In a heartfelt message shared publicly, Jowy revealed the overwhelming financial strain placed upon her family due to escalating medical costs, which amount to nearly Shs1 million daily for ICU care. “I had to spend all my savings on his treatment because I am the breadwinner at home,” she shared, emphasizing the emotional toll this situation has taken on her ability to focus on her music career.
The incident that led to her brother’s hospitalization involved a violent confrontation with friends that left him incapacitated and fighting for his life. As improvements in his condition have been slow—currently limited to eye movements—Jowy is reaching out for help from Gen. Saleh in hopes of alleviating some of the financial burdens associated with his ongoing care.
Her appeal sheds light on the critical issues surrounding healthcare access in Uganda and the challenges faced by families during medical emergencies. As Jowy navigates this difficult chapter in her life, she remains hopeful that support will come through to help her brother recover and regain his strength.
