Speaking in the office of Geoffrey Mosiria, chief officer in charge of environment, Nairobi county, the young man said that he became homeless and thought of looking for the executive for help.
He also revealed that he was in an accident and lost his leg; since he was sleeping on the streets, some street kids stole one of his crutches, leaving him immobile.
"While there, one of his crutches was stolen, making it extremely difficult for him to move around with just one. Today, he visited me at the office, and I created time to listen to his story and see how best I can assist him. If anyone knows him or would be willing to help him reach out through +254720836634," said Mosiria.

How was Collins's leg problem solved?
Mosiria then visited Jaipur Hospital with Collins and was pleased to share that the hospital agreed to donate one artificial leg to the young man.
The man is scheduled to receive and be fitted with the artificial leg on Wednesday next week.
"This is a life-changing step forward for him, and we thank the hospital for its generosity and compassion. Additionally, after I shared Collins’ story online, a kind-hearted lady reached out to me requesting to be connected with him.
"She later came to my office in person, hoping to meet him. I was more than happy to provide a platform for them to meet and connect," added Mosiria.
How did Collins find love?
As Mosisria was narrating Collins' story, a woman from Kirinyaga saw him, and it was love at first sight for her.
"Give me this one, I am tired of these men. I am here, you asked me to come tomorrow what time are you available?" She asked Mosiria, and eventually, he sent her money and she arrived in Nairobi.
"I don't want anyone who will hurt me, I want someone I can start with at the lowest point , he won't have the audacity to loiter around. I didn't have a problem with the act that he is with disability," she said.
It emerged that Collins had a colourful past and both Misiria and Joy were willing to overlook it.
The county government executive was, however, emphatic that he would conduct due diligence to know if she is a good person.
"They will go to Mbagathi, take HIV tests and from there they will start talking and eventually they will get married. I will conduct the ceremony myself.
"There is no difference with other people out there; disability is not inability. I also heard that he had a colouful past but people change," he added.
Why is new love timely for Collins?
This new love is certainly welcome to Collins, who had complained bitterly about not being loved at home and his mum constantly insulting him.
He was a man ready to be helped, and out of volition, Mosiria decided to get him help in Nairobi.
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Mosiria said he will help Collins get a casual job within Nairobi.
"Your past shouldn’t be used to define your present and future. They exchanged contacts now it’s up to them to make arrangements on how to familiarise with each other first," said Mosiria.
"After they decided to start a relationship, it’s upon the man and woman to hold each other accountable," he added.
Man who escaped polygamous home seeks help
In another story, Kevin Owino, a young man from Homa Bay county, shared how he successfully fled a polygamous and chaotic home with his mother and five siblings.
The young man also shared how they were trying to stabilise in life after the ordeal they faced at the hands of their father.
He recalled how his father told him to go and look for his father, and later, he kicked them out of their home.
When the young family landed in Ndhiwa, they used to sleep on a cold, hard verandah until an old man felt pity on them and gave them a house to live in for free.
