The appeal was shared by a well-wisher who said the child had suffered for more than eight years and could not be left to continue facing difficult circumstances without assistance.
According to the organiser, Kenyans of goodwill raised KSh 200,000 within one hour. Contributions have continued coming in, offering further support as efforts to improve the boy’s life gather momentum.
The organiser thanked everyone who has contributed, describing the response as a powerful show of compassion and unity. The quick fundraising effort has highlighted how people can come together when a child needs help.
The initiative has brought together supporters, including comedian Erick Omondi, Minister Zido and other well-wishers. They have pledged to remain involved and work towards changing the young boy’s circumstances.
The supporters are also preparing to hold an event dubbed Kenyans for Kenyans on Sunday at KCB Rugby Grounds along Thika Road, next to KCA University.
The event aims to provide meals to 10,000 children, with the boy among those expected to benefit. Organisers hope the gathering will offer practical assistance to children in need and encourage wider community involvement.
The boy’s story has drawn attention to the challenges faced by children who experience prolonged hardship. Organisers are using his situation to encourage people to respond with kindness and offer help wherever possible.
They say the effort is not only about raising money but also about creating an opportunity for the child to enjoy a better future. Continued contributions could strengthen the support being organised around him.
The organisers have urged the public to stand together and support vulnerable members of society. Their message is that when others fail, humanity should not fail, and collective action can change lives.
They also hope the event will inspire more individuals and organisations to support children facing hardship, ensuring that the needs of vulnerable families receive attention.
