Mercy expressed that Jackson was more than just a stepfather; he was a father to her who made sure she had food, school supplies, and all the support she needed.
"He always treated me like his own daughter. His presence gave me stability and love at a time I really needed it,” she recalled.
Now, years later, Mercy hopes to reconnect and thank the man who has shaped her life in immeasurable ways.
Why Mercy wants to reconnect with stepdad
Mercy is asking anyone who may know Maina, or anyone who lived in or around Mathare Area 3 during that time, to come forward with information that could help reunite them.
She reiterated that she just wants to give the man her thanks in person, adding that he may not know it, but the kindness he showed her has left a lasting mark.
“If there’s anything you can do to share this message or assist in finding him, I would truly appreciate it,” she added.
