Dorcus Basheba Kirabo, popularly known as Mama D, famed for her two Guinness World Record attempts for the Longest Cooking Marathon by an Individual is currently hospitalized following the birth of her twins.
Though she is in stable condition, both newborns remain in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Reports indicate that Mama D is unable to clear her hospital bills, leaving her and her babies stuck in the hospital. Despite her personal recovery, the financial burden continues to grow, with no immediate relief in sight.
In response, a fundraising effort has been launched on social media, led by UOX President Gideon Nova Kwikiriza and journalist Gabriel Buule. The campaign is calling on well-wishers to contribute and help lift the financial weight off Mama D’s shoulders.
“Kirabo nearly lost her life to pre-eclampsia; her twins were successfully delivered & are now in intensive care. She couldn’t hold back tears, sharing financial struggles & the stress of begging. Support via +256 752 259540 (Kirabo) or Gabriel Buule at 0700391620. #SaveMaamaDee,” Buule posted on X.
Supporters hope that with enough public attention and generosity, Mama D and her newborns can soon leave the hospital and begin their journey home.
