Mama Gift appeared online and shared that her baby, who was born with cerebral palsy, was also suffering from chronic asthma and cardiovascular complications.
On October 25, all roads led to Gathoge village, with matatus, cars, buses, motorbikes, and people on foot, all eager to reach Mama Gift and help her out during this challenging time.
According to Mama Gift, her baby daddy ran for the nearest hills as soon as he learned that their baby had multiple health issues, saying that their family didn’t have such people in it.

When Kenyans reached the home of the young mum, they only had one goal: to change the life of the little one forever. They held a fundraiser in Embu that raised a lot of money.
“Here we do not have any tribal or political leanings; we just want Baby Gift and his mum to have relief,” said a young man.
What did the youths bring Mama Gift?
The event was streamed live on social media, and it made the family get more money. The youths also brought medical supplies, household goods, and shopping.
“It is good that people have come together in numbers like this for a fellow Kenyan, and we should continue like that,” said a young man amid loud noises of vuvuzelas, which many people had carried.
“We pray that the same will happen for a fellow youth who is keen to change the lives of Kenyans; that many people will come through for him,” he added.
