This comedian asked Kenyans to help the family start a small business or even build a simple house. He also congratulated them for giving Grace’s contact number so that Kenyans can help financially:
“Hello, I found Ishmael and Grace. They have a young family struggling with life and they have an 8-month-old baby. Ishmael sells eggs to support his family. Team Sisi Kwa Sisi, these are the people we should connect with. We can help them start a small business or even build them a simple house. Please send what you can to his wife on 0727 828 043. Name: Grace Wambui Nganga,” said Eric.
Ishmael explained that he had transferred all his family’s possessions and kept them with his friend:
“I have removed everything and put it at my friend’s. She is at her sister’s. She was not able to sleep here because, you know, the child is there and there is also no door. There are also security and cold challenges. I am an egg seller. She is a beautician at a telephone salon. The problem was the deposit.”
