In the past few months, she has been appearing on different stations appealing for medical support towards her treatment in the US which costs Sh10 million.

“I love you all for supporting this fight. We are just about to score the goal to wellness. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for loving me and may God bless each one of you,” she wrote on her Facebook page.
However, she made an appeal to well-wishers to continue fundraising because she is yet to hit the Sh10 million target required for her treatment.
“We haven’t reached the target yet but God is providing. God has brought us this far.”
Since the news of her illness, artistes have held several concerts in a drive to raise funds towards her treatment.
Her treatment, she explained, involve a major surgery to remove endometrial lesions in her lungs.
