Today on my way to Sidindi market, I witnessed something that has shaken me deeply.
I had stopped briefly to greet a neighbour when an elderly woman approached him and humbly asked if he could give her any work to do, even if it was just weeding a small section of his farm so she could earn something to buy food.
The neighbour looked at her sadly and told her she was too weak to work. He said her body looked frail, her legs could barely support her, and she needed rest more than labour. He even told her she should be at home as her children or grandchildren take care of her at her age.
But the painful truth is this woman has no children.
No grandchildren.
No husband.
No one.
The man reached into his pocket and gave her Ksh 50. She bent slowly in gratitude, thanked him respectfully, and walked away struggling.
I tried to continue with my journey, but something inside me refused.
I stopped greeting the neighbour midway and followed her.
She led me to her small home near Kutana and I promised her I would return later in the day.
Today I kept that promise.
And that is when the full reality hit me.
Her name is Mary Ongar.
Her number is 0700393695.
I found her living alone in a collapsing house. Her legs are badly bent and deformed, her body weak, and every movement she makes is painful to watch. Yet despite everything, she still smiled and thanked God for life.
When I asked her who takes care of her, she quietly answered:
“Jesus is my husband.”
Those words broke me completely.
Wonderful people, this is the reality many villagers are facing silently. People are not refusing to help because they are heartless. Everyone is struggling. Hunger, poverty and hopelessness have become normal in many homes.
Meanwhile leaders are busy in Nairobi trading insults, propaganda and endless politics while forgotten Kenyans like Mary suffer alone without food, proper shelter, roads, healthcare or dignity.
Mary is not asking for millions.
She only asked for a small chance to survive:
A sack of omena.
A crate of onions.
A small business she can manage to feed herself.
That is all.
I am pleading with every compassionate Kenyan:
Please let us stand with Mary Ongar.
Ksh 10.
Ksh 20.
Ksh 50.
Ksh 100.
Anything small can help.
Her number is:
0700393695
Please do not ignore her.
Sometimes humanity is measured by whether we stop when others are suffering.
Let us remind this old woman that she is not alone.
We have finally connected with the family of Samuel Ng'ang'a Mwangi his wife Mueni and his father George Mwangi Ng'ang'a. We suspect Samuel was abducted by President Ruto's DCI officers for his Twitter opinions against his brutal regime.
