Jackline Mwende, the woman whose arms were chopped off by her husband leaving her with permanent neck and head wounds has a reason to smile again after various donors came to her aid. She will be receiving 30 thousand shillings per month, apart from free medical and financial support from well wishers who visited her at her father's home in Masii, Machakos. Mwende who since swore never to get married again has however expressed fears for her life should her husband be released on bond.
