A legend once said…

[🕊️ @lichthauch]

The thing nobody tells you is that wisdom and gentleness are twins that rarely sleep in the same crib. most people who see the workings of the soul wind up playing them like a puppeteer, they take the hunger and fear and use them to make people dance on strings and call it genius. but it takes a special kind of restraint to see those vulnerabilities and refuse to press down, not because you can't but because you know it would be evil. and meanwhile most of the gentle ones stay gentle because they never even see the openings for cruelty, they didn't notice the wounds that screamed for the knife, they just drifted through the world like smoke without ever knowing how easy they could make it all burn. so it's a rare bird indeed who can spot every weakness in every heart and also choose to protect rather than exploit. maybe one in a million are born with that kind of grace, and most of them dwell far from the rest of us because they can't bear the sight of so much naked need going untended.

Good morning, friends. ❤️

As I shared yesterday, I went for my doctor’s appointment and after laboratory tests, I was told my PTH (parathyroid hormone) is high.

In advanced kidney disease, damaged kidneys struggle to regulate calcium, phosphate and vitamin D, causing the body to produce more PTH. This is called secondary hyperparathyroidism. 🥹

For me, it’s more than a lab result—it’s another reminder of what kidney failure has put my body through.

Every contribution, share and connection brings me one step closer.

Thank you for standing with me. ❤️

Good morning beautiful people of this platform ❤️
I am writing this from my dialysis chair, another session already underway, another morning where my body reminds me exactly what I’m fighting for.

Here is where we stand: KES 933,229 on Mchanga and Kes 602,290 on MPESA
Total: Kes 1,535,519

I’m grateful, genuinely, for every shilling in this numbers
Together you’ve carried me closer to my transplant than I’ve ever been
I refuse to stop believing and I refuse to stop showing up
Even from this chair, even on hard mornings
Thank you once more for refusing to stop showing up with me too 🙏🏻❤️

Good morning to my followers and my online supporters
I don't ever want to take your support for granted. 🙏
I know I'm not entitled to anyone's money. No one owes me anything, and yet so many of you have given quietly, generously, again and again.
From the bottom of my heart ❤️ thank you.
I feel every contribution, every share, every kind word.🙏🙏
I'm asking because I'm desperate.
I can't work right now.
I'm fighting battles most people never have to think about, and every day without help is another day of suffering I don't know how to escape on my own.
I'm not asking for pity.
I'm asking for help to stop suffering, to get my life back, to stop feeling like my body is something I'm at war with every single day.
I can't give up.
So I'm asking you, once more, to keep standing with me.
Thank you for every reason you've already given me to keep fighting❤️❤️

I'm writing this from my dialysis chair, phone in hand, because even here, even now, I have to keep showing up. 😭😭
There's no version of this fight where I get to rest and hope things work out on their own.😭
Tomorrow is my Harambee.
Tomorrow could determine whether my life changes.

We are at KES 939,906 right now, closer than I have ever been to a number that once felt impossible.
But I won't lie to you, I need more.
I need Kenyans on X, well wishers, people of good will, to come through for me one more time.

I have no other option than to keep begging, keep asking, keep believing that someone out there hasn't given yet but will, tonight or tomorrow.
If that's you, please don't wait any longer.
If you've already given everything you can, please share this one more time
Tomorrow needs every voice.

Good morning wonderful people of Kenya
It's once again me, asking for help🥹🥹
I am weeping tears of joy this morning. 😭🙏🏾

Look at what God and the people of this app have done:
We're at KES 354,747 on M-Pesa and KES 532,336 on Mchanga
A combined KES 887,083, and KES 1,000,000 feels closer than it ever has.
Its actually two days to my Harambee
For these final two days, please write a post about me, in your own words, on your own timeline.
Retweet what you can.
We are so close.
Saturday is almost here.
Let's cross this line together, one last push. 🙏

[BRAVIN YURI @BravinYuri]

I don't think many Kenyans have understood the weight of the figures David Maraga released yesterday.

According to the former Chief Justice @dkmaraga, 3,958 Kenyans have been killed by police since President William Ruto came to power, an average of roughly 990 deaths every year.

Now put that number next to the country's terrorism figures.

Available Kenyan terrorism data records roughly 343 terror-related deaths between 2022 and 2025.

That means the number of Kenyans Maraga says have been killed by police is more than 11 times the number of people killed in terror-related violence over the same four-year period. Think about that.

We have spent years being told to fear Al-Shabaab terrorism, and violent extremism as some of the greatest threats to our national security.

And rightly so.

But what does it say about the state of our country when the number of people reportedly killed by the police is an order of magnitude greater than those killed in terror-related attacks?

The police are supposed to protect citizens from violence.

They are supposed to be the institution standing between citizens and those who want to harm them.
The State gives them uniforms, guns, training, and extraordinary powers because we are supposed to trust them with our lives.

So when thousands of citizens are reportedly dying at the hands of the very institution tasked with protecting them, this is no longer simply a conversation about police brutality. It is a national security question.

Who is protecting Kenyans from those who are supposed to protect Kenyans?

And perhaps that is the figure we should all be struggling to comprehend: 3,958.

Not a statistic.
Not a political talking point.
3,958 human beings.
3,958 families.
3,958 stories.
3,958 people who did not go home.

And if a terrorist organization killed anything close to that number of Kenyans, we would quite rightly call it a national catastrophe.

So why should the identity of the person holding the gun change the seriousness with which we treat the death?

A terrorist killing a Kenyan is a threat to the State.
A police officer unlawfully killing a Kenyan is also a threat to the State.

The difference is that one is supposed to be our enemy. The other is supposed to be our protector.

Good morning wonderful people of Kenya.
I am typing this right from the dialysis machine as another session begins this morning🥹💔

I know my continuous posts might feel overwhelming, and I see how many DMs I've sent trying to reach out🥹😭
sometimes even messaging the same kind souls over and over again.
It breaks my heart, and I am so sorry if it feels like too much.
But desperation has a way of stripping away pride. When your life is on the line, you don't stay silent.

To everyone who has carried me this far,thank you for loving me, fighting for me, and refusing to let me face this alone. May God bless you abundantly.

Your 50 bob, your 100 bob, your DMs, and your relentless retweets are the only reason I am still holding on.
Please, as we count down these final 3 days, I am begging you from a hospital bed🙏: do not tire with me yet.

Good morning Lovely people of Kenya🫶.
With only a few days left before the physical Harambee on September 5th, my heart is heavy with anxiety, yet overflowing with so much gratitude. 🥺🙏🏾

Sometimes the fear of the approaching date keeps me awake all night.
I look at the mountain we still need to climb to reach the 6M target for my heart and kidney transplant, and it feels overwhelming.
But then I look at what you have done.
Pushing us to KES 800,000 and I am reminded of the immense grace holding me together.

To everyone on X, every stranger who turned into family, and every single person who has stood by this 27-year-old nurse: Asante sana🥹💕.
Your kindness has kept me going when my failing body wanted to give up.

Please, as the clock ticks closer to September 5th, I am begging you: do not tire with me yet.

Never look down on your 50 bob or 100 bob.
Those tiny contributions are the miracle keeping me alive. And if you cannot give right now, please retweet, quote, and share this story so it reaches someone new today.
Your repost is just as powerful as a coin.

Thank you for refusing to let me fight alone. May God bless you and your families abundantly. Please keep walking this journey with me. 💙
