The mother of one and her partner, DJ Dibul, were in the area for a promotion when they heard about the woman’s plight.
“We felt very touched by the story and decided to go see her,” Dibul said.
What did Githurai woman tell Dorea Chege?
When they entered the house, they found the woman lying in bed. She disclosed that she has multiple health issues.
“I have a problem with my stomach, asthma, ulcers, problems in breathing, heart problems, my spine is not okay, and my nerves are dying,” she said.
She mentioned that she has a sister and a brother, but they sometimes ignore her calls.
“I have been bedridden for four years. I have two boys who change my pampers,” she said.
The video showed an emotional Dorea speaking to the eldest of the two boys.
“Are you the one who changes your mum’s pampers?” Dorea asked, and the boy nodded.
Why did Dorea Chege cry?
She assured him that everything would be okay.
Dorea was overwhelmed by the story and wept profusely while hugging the boy.
Dibul gave her some money, while Dorea offered a prayer.
“If you are capable and can help, please join us and come visit them,” Dibul said.
The post caught Eric Omondi’s attention, and he pledged to visit the family.
“Team Sisi Kwa Sisi, I have seen your numerous tags on Dorea Chege’s page. I am on my way to see this mother of ours... Please be on standby as we try our best to reduce this pain and help her regain her life for the sake of these children. God bless,” he wrote.
