Rodah Wanjala is now a proud homeowner, thanks to well-wishers who were touched by her appeal.

The widow’s story was aired by Apostle Dan Wema, a philanthropist who shared the struggles she went through.

Rodah abandoned by her children

He narrated her plight after meeting her in her home compound, where she was preparing a meal for her grandchildren.

"Imagine a mother, a widow, left utterly alone. Mama Rodah’s own children, her flesh and blood, have abandoned her. She calls, but her calls go unanswered. The thought of her sitting there, hoping for a connection that never comes, is agonizing. But the pain doesn’t stop there. Her current living situation is dire—she’s literally being rained on inside her home. She doesn’t have a safe, dry place to lay her head, let alone find peace.

Our goal is simple yet profound: to build Mama Rodah a decent, secure house—a home where she won’t worry about the next downpour, a place where she can finally find dignity and comfort," he shared.

Rodah was emotional as she opened up about her challenges, which touched the hearts of many Kenyans.

She could not contain her joy, overwhelmed by the love shown to her by Kenyans.

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Wema noted that Rodah was going through much more than what had been shared online.

"Being a widow and caregiver to little children is a huge burden. The little ones should be in school, but they aren’t due to financial struggles. We hope things get better for her, and we aim to continue supporting her to improve her life," he said.
