Struggling Designer Quiteria Kekana Begs For Money To Settle His Medical Bills

Designer Quiteria Kekana of Quiteria Atelier revealed that he got diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma which is a form of cancer. The designer got this diagnosis in April and he revealed to a local publication that his finances took a huge knock because of his cancer treatment.

Now, the designer is reportedly seeking help from the public to pay for his bills. According to Sunday World, Kekana is receiving help from a foundation called Endless Hope Butterfly. They have set up a fund for the designer so that he can receive donations from people willing to help.

With all that is going on in his life, Quiteria is trying to stay positive, not only for him but for his colleagues as well. “It has been tough, having to think positively, work on my health and being responsible for the lives of those that I work with and their families,” he told the publication. “We truly pray for better days,” he added.

But what caused him to learn about his diagnosis is truly appalling. Quiteria reportedly found out about his cancer diagnosis after the whole fat shaming drama with comedian Lesego Thlabi AKA Coconut Kelz. These accusations lead to numerous threats from people on social media and his health took a huge toll.

He said the threats were traumatic and put a strain on his health. He clarified that the incident did not cause his cancer, however he got stressed to the point that he noticed some skin patches and inflammation in various parts of his body.

“If it wasn’t for someone saying I fat-shamed them I wouldn’t have probably found out at this stage that I had Multiple Myeloma. The trauma I got from being attacked and threatened put a strain on my health,” he said.

“The cancer was not caused by that, but the attacks affected my health immensely. I was stressed. I developed skin patches and lost energy, I was fatigued, and my body couldn’t take the stress. I experienced inflammation in different parts of my body.”
