Harambee Stars and St George SC goalkeeper Patrick Matasi has reached out to members of the public to help him settle his hospital bill.
Matasi together with his wife and son were involved in a road accident at Lessos on the Kapsabet-Nakuru Highway a few weeks ago while travelling back to Nairobi.
The former Posta Rangers goalkeeper was rushed to Lessos before being transferred to Kakamega, where he and his family are recovering.
The goalkeeper was released a day after the accident since he suffered minor injuries, but his wife and son required additional medical attention, and it is because of their mounting bills that he has come forward to seek financial assistance to the general public and well wishers.
The shot stopper took on the social media platforms in addressing the public on the much needed assistance in settling the hospital bill.
"Hello friends, as I had already shared with you, my wife and son were scheduled for surgery, which they did. My wife was operated on on 7th June while my son underwent his surgery today," a statement on Matasi's Facebook page read.
Matasi was travelling to the city in order to catch a flight to Addis Ababa and link up with his club teammates before the accident.
He is one of Kenya's most established goalkeepers, although he has not been called up in recent times for national assignments.
