Currently working as a “Hospital Cleaner” in Northern Ireland, it could be said that Desmond Marshall is the reason LOMAMO Foundation Kenya exists.
More than a decade ago, following the work that was begun by the Dutch, Dessie implemented a care and compassion ministry designed to care for those who’ve been abandoned to die.
In addition to providing urgent acute care, Dessie spent time with the patients…serving them, keeping them overnight when they had no one to give them food or remind them to take their medicine. He gave them fellowship from his heart, visiting patients in the hospitals and advocating for them to their doctors. He won’t be found sitting in meetings or staying in the office.
Kenya is filled with patients who tell stories of how they were abandoned by their family and friends until Dessie came along, showed them love and encouraged them to keep trying. Now we are blessed to follow in his footsteps. Desmond serves LOMAMO Foundation with an abundance of encouragement and support!
