FILMMAKER APPIE MATERE APPEALS FOR FINANCIAL HELP TO CLEAR SH1.5 MILLION HOSPITAL BILL

Executive producer and CEO of Zamaradi Productions Appie Matere is seeking an additional Sh131,633 to clear an outstanding hospital bill of Sh1.5 million. 

In a poster informing on the same, the TV producer noted that they have managed to raise Sh1,368,367 in the past three weeks, adding that the hospital was gracious enough to extend time to clear the bill. Further, the poster informed of Matere’s battle with breast cancer that she was diagnosed with in 2020 and has had several rounds of chemotherapy sessions. 

Recently, she was operated on to extract the tumour but her stay in HDU depleted her insurance forcing her to seek financial help. “I can’t find words to express how much I appreciate your kindness and generosity. Three weeks ago, I had to go for a major surgery and tackle a bill that looked nearly impossible. Luckily, I have received help from strangers, friends, colleagues, fans and family.

Contributions stands at Sh1,368,367 of the Sh1.5 million we hoped to raise. Thanks for making the burden lighter! I will beat this disease and testify of God’s goodness in my life. Thank you for standing with me.”

“On 28th April 2021, I was operated on to extract the tumour. All went well but the surgery took 13 hours and my stay in HDU was longer than anticipated. This depleted my insurance and amassed an outstanding hospital bill of Sh 1.5 million. As I recover from home, I am calling on my family and my friends to stand with me on this one. I need you,” read the poster.

Appie has produced 22 films, 11 TV shows and over 20 features, the popular ones being Kona, Kina and Killer Neckless among others.
