Fast forward to March 4, Valary needs help again as she is now at Stage Four cancer, and her health has deteriorated.
Since November 2024, when Valary's health took a turn for the worse, she was having chemotherapy treatments twice a month. The critical sessions became a heavy financial burden on their family as they struggled to keep up with the mounting costs.
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, a well-wisher identified as Stella Tande said she was attending Muhoroni High School in Kisumu county and was in Form Four at Muhoroni High School, but she was in hospital for last three weeks.
"She has been hospitalised since last week and her doctor recommended further tests which are costly given that Social Health Assurance isn't working," she said.
When she became ill in school, her mum was called to pick her up, and she's been hospitalised since then.

What are Valary's symptoms?
"She's needs KSh 40,000, to get a CT scan, MRI and her monthly chemos; it is after getting an MRI that they will know further steps. For now she's in pain with severe headache and backache," she said.
"She's on the verge of giving up, and her mum is kindly reaching out for well-wishers who can help raise cash needed for the tests as they are still held up in the hospital. Her sister has had to drop out of college since any little cash her casual labourer mum gets is channeled for her treatment. It's a really adifficult situation," she added.
Any form of help can be channeled to her mum, Easther Omondi, on 0719203945
