In a heartwarming display of community support, Kenyans have rallied together to raise over KSh 200,000 for Milkaa Moraa Tegisi, a mother from Nairobi’s Mukuru kwa Njenga slums who was recently locked out of her home due to rent arrears. This act of generosity comes after a widely publicized incident where Moraa sought assistance from Pastor James Ng’ang’a of Neno Evangelism Centre but was turned away.
Moraa had been locked out of her house for a week over unpaid rent arrears. She anticipated that she would receive help from the church only to be turned away.
Moved by her plight, Sammy Ondimu Ngare, an administrative police officer, initiated a fundraising campaign to assist Moraa. Through his efforts and the contributions of compassionate well-wishers, over KSh 200,000 was raised to help Moraa settle her rent arrears and support her family’s needs.
Additionally, Jarunda Jaluth Mambobiad, a Nairobi-based philanthropist, offered to pay two years’ rent for Moraa and assist her in starting a small business. He expressed his desire to help after learning about the challenges she faced.
Moraa’s story has touched the hearts of many, leading to an outpouring of support from both local and international communities. This collective effort underscores the power of unity and compassion in addressing societal challenges.
For those who wish to contribute further, donations can be sent directly to Moraa via M-Pesa at 0705028977 (Milka Tegisi).
This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of empathy and community support in uplifting those in need.
