When worse got to worse, Danny wrote on Safaricom's Facebook page, appealing to the leading Telco to help in educating his daughter upon his demise as he had used up all his savings on medication. 

“I had been saving so that I take my small family on a vacation but I have been drained and can’t. I am living with the help of friends. My young daughter Britney Dova is still young. She has not started school yet. I was planning but I am sorry I have failed as a dad,” part of his post read. 

Danny continued to say that he had his left arm chopped off, but cancer continued to spread to other parts of his body.

"Or maybe treat us to a once-in-a-lifetime ride, I will appreciate it."
