“I was put under medication which cost KSh2500 a month which was quite expensive for me,” Imbalambala, who was a free agent by the time of the incident, told Goodmorning Kenya on Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The last time, I got medical attention was two months ago at Sabatia Eye Hospital. I was given medicine which helped me a bit. I was to get back for more checkups in April but could not raise the Ksh4000 which was needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The doctor’s strike did not make things better at the time, and I remained helpless to date.” Added Mato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Vihiga United player is now asking well-wishers and fans to help him get the money needed for medication.

# I badly need help, please help me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All I need is Ksh4000 to help me get to the hospital and get attended to by the doctors,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Right now I am in my home at Chavakali and I cannot do anything due to my condition. I need to get back to my former self and be able to help my family as well but I cannot do it on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am requesting my fans and well-wishers to help me get the money for treatment, it is the only thing I am desperate for right now yes to see again.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
