A 22-year-old man from Mutoko in Mindamirefu area who was critically injured after a hit and run accident which occurred at Kuwadzana Roundabout in November last year is appealing for financial support to raise US$2 400 for metal implants and US$1 600 for medical bills and operation.
Nesbert Gwishiri who was staying with his uncle in Kuwadzana Extension was hit by a car on the 5th of November last year when he was on his way to his workplace at Magaba in Mbare.
He sustained serious injuries including a broken right arm and leg.
Nesbert was taken to Sally Mugabe hospital by well-wishers when he was unconscious.
His uncle,Mr Bornface Gwishiri said the family is failing to raise the required amount to ensure that he gets operated on time.
“He was involved in an accident that almost took his life. We appeal for financial assistance since Nesbert is supposed to undergo an emergency operation. He cannot walk.
“His mother lives in Mutoko , she is unemployed, currently she is taking care of her last born son who is living with disabilities.
“His father died a long time ago. Things are not well in the family,” he said.
The mother of the child Rumbidzai Gwishiri said the problems she has encountered in her life are hard to accept adding that she has no other sources of income.
“We appeal for Government and other well-wishers to interfere in our situation so that my son may be able to walk again. I am unemployed. My son has been in hospital for over two months now,” she said.

Recently,Police have launched a manhunt for motorists who were involved in hit-and-run road traffic accidents before speeding off from the scenes without rendering assistance to the pedestrians they run over.
Most of the pedestrians were killed while others were injured in separate incidents countrywide.
The numbers of motorists who hit pedestrians speed off without rendering assistance is now on the increase with the police recording about 2 500 hit-and-run accidents in the first half of the “bloody” 2022 that has seen the country losing 984 lives on the roads by that time.
Many of the hit-and-run accidents involve pedestrians struck and killed or injured while crossing roads and the motorists just flee without rendering assistance or making a report, a serious offence and one that magistrates tend to impose higher sentences for when someone is killed or injured, since the assistance might well have saved a life.
