Maureen who was in the company of her mother at the hospital said medical bills had drained her family’s resources and appealed for support from well-wishers.
“It pains me to see my children leaving a difficult life due to financial constraints. We exhausted all we had paying hospital bills. It is more painful that I cannot do much to help them because of this illness,” she painfully narrated.
The singer further narrated how the illness and financial challenges had made friends who enjoyed good times with her disappearance.

“Most of the people who used to be my friends are nowhere to be seen. I am just left with my mother and family. Some of them are behind the sad rumours that I am no more,” she said.
She ,however, thanked political leaders and few friends who have supported her before and promised she would repay that with good deeds when she gets well.
“When I finally get out of the sick bed I will help needy people because I have learnt what it means for someone to stand by you in time of need. I hope to churn out more hit songs then,” she added.
