Apostle Dan Wema brought Immaculate to tears after settling her rent arrears, just days after interacting with her.
The man of God paid three months' worth of rent arrears, giving her much-needed financial relief in the current tough economic environment.
What happened to Immaculate's marriage?
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Wema shared the difficulties the woman, who works as a security guard was facing.
"When I interacted with her, she told me she has four children and is raising them singlehandedly. Her marriage recently ended due to domestic violence from her allegedly abusive husband. She said there were many times he injured her, among other heartbreaking incidents.
She earns a meagre salary from her job, which is not enough to meet her family’s needs or cover her medical expenses. Because she works at night, she developed health issues due to the cold and has been undergoing treatment for a while," he noted.
How much rent does Immaculate pay?
Wema’s heart went out to her as he listened to her heartbreaking story, compelling him to step in and help.
Immaculate said she had not been paid and, with the little she earns, she could barely save anything for a potential business.
"Her job is challenging, but she hopes to start a business one day, either to supplement her income or venture into it full-time. It has not been easy for her. She lives in a small house where she pays KSh 7,000 monthly. With the help of my online community, we were able to clear her arrears.
I hope more people will be touched to help me open a business for her so she can care for her family better," he added.
Kenyans react to Dan Wema's kindness
Kenyans were delighted by the impact made on Immaculate’s housing situation and shared encouraging messages about the way forward.
Onset KE:
"Kuchanga nayo tutachanga as long as tunapumua.. Naona vizuri tukiweka tabasamu kwa nyuso za wengine.. I contributed and for all who contributed, God bless us all. And for those who didn’t manage, God will help you next time."
Sylvia Owino:
"Great job, I’m happy to see the mother smile. Some single mothers go through very hard times. If all apostles were like Dan, honestly, people wouldn’t suffer so much."
Caroline Mbati Congo:
"Glad she passed the test when she decided to share her two pieces of mandazi with you. Someone else might have slammed the gate in your face. May this be the beginning of her destiny."
Caroline Anyangu:
"God bless you."
Joshua Wafula:
"You are doing a good job, and God will bless you abundantly."
