With no knowledge about the signs and symptoms of stroke, mum came back from work complaining of dizziness and a headache, and on her way to the living room collapsed in the corridor and was unconscious. I rushed to a nearby clinic for help. It took a long time to find out that it was a stroke.

We moved to four health facilities. We were referred to the Stroke Foundation Uganda for nine months until their support was no longer enough for the therapy needed. My mum did respond to treatment but we could not raise the rehabilitation bills alone.
