What happened to Mama Gift?
Mama Gift is a woman who had been documenting the life of her ailing baby, who was also suffering from cerebral palsy, among other conditions.
It had been difficult providing for the child as he had been ailing.
The father of the baby has since run away, and when TikTokers learned what had been happening, they came out in large numbers to help.
Susan was among the good-hearted people who went to Embu to help raise funds for the ailing woman, but the mother of two sadly did not make it back home.
“It is sad that this woman, who was in the convoy to visit Mama Gift, died when they were returning home, leaving behind two kids,” said Kerreh SZn on Facebook.
“Mama Wambu, rest in peace. The boda-boda rider who was carrying her is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).”

What kind of person was Susan Nyambura?
Content creator Kaleb Owiro also corroborated the story, saying that Susan died on their way back to Juja.
“She lost one of her limbs in the crash, from her hip downwards, and bled to her last breath as emergency responders fought to save her life,” he said.
“I have met humble and honest people in this life, but this girl topped the list. She worked so hard to give her two girls a decent life. I never imagined a day would come when I would post her picture with a caption that reads R.I.P.,” he added.
Susan is survived by Leticiah Wambui, who is four years old, and Livya Favour Muthoni, who is two and a half years old.
How did Kenyans react to the story?
Adrian Mbogo George:
“Poleni sana.”
EV Ben Oricho:
“Boda boda uwa nawambia acheni mbio kwa Barabara jameni training ni free please Chali maisha yako na client please.”
Mary Wanjiru:
“Kaleb Owiro I mentioned the same traits about her in another post, ‘hardworking and jovial’-and hadn’t seen your post. This shows that she carried her strong work ethic and spread joy wherever she went. May her soul rest in eternal peace.”
Jane Akinyi:
“The team that organised for mama gifts day, please consider Suzie’s kids through her sister..A trust fund for their education can be arranged and the sister can be their guardian. Just a suggestion considering she sacrificed her time and unfortunately even her life trying to help a fellow mother.”
Joanne Moraa Monari:
“Kaleb Owiro she highly spoke of you. It’s just that I didn’t know it was you. She left my house on Saturday evening. She was so excited about the journey. Couldn’t talk her out out of it. She loved my kids like her own and served as my day burg for 1 year. Keep us updated on the way forward. Praying for her little kids.”
Caroline Mungai:
“Life is fragile and this shows us we should be prepared to be home anyday and any time. It’s such a young life but may she rip.”
Mama Gift shares how baby daddy left
In another story, Mama Gift was abandoned with a special needs child, and her baby daddy ran for the nearest hills.
The two were in a relationship that resulted in a cute Baby Gift, but the man ran away as soon as hardships started, never to return.
When Kenyans learnt of the woman’s problem, they came from all corners of the country and helped her in a huge way.
