It emerged that just three weeks ago, Ryan Omondi Owino’s dad had made a solemn promise to accompany him to Kisumu Boys, but he fell critically ill and was taken to the intensive care unit (ICU).
“He was admitted to the ICU at Kenyatta National Hospital. Ryan’s mother used all the family’s savings, including his school fees, to pay for the hospital bills. Thanks to God, I have sent him to school where he will study very well,” Eric Omondi said on Facebook.
In a video shared by Omondi, the young boy and his mother are seen praying by his father’s hospital bedside at KNH, and Kenyans felt sorry for the family.
