The couple said they first understood the full extent of their children’s condition after a hospital visit, where doctors determined the children could not sit unaided due to weak skeletal bones.
“This is the challenge we face as a family,” Mr. and Mrs. Mitochi said, describing the strain on both their limited resources and emotional wellbeing.
