Hilfe für Nyeri e.V.

Mary Wairimu was one of the HFN’s beneficiaries for more than 10 years. All her children died and since then she has been taking care of her grandchildren. I remember the first time when I went to visit her at her home, I found around  six kids playing in her compound and I asked her whether if they were all her grandchildren and she told me her grandchildren are four and the other two were homeless and she decided to take them in. That really moved me because from the look of things I could see that she was really struggling to feed and take care of her grandchildren but she still had a heart to help other needy kids.  She told me that one might not be very rich or wealthy but there is always something that one can do to give a helping hand no matter how small, she went ahead to say that help doesn’t always have to be inform of money instead one can offer a shoulder to lean on for someone, one can share a plate of food with a hungry person, one can offer shelter for the homeless just like she had done for the two kids. She was genuinely kind and selfless and that is one thing we always remember her for.  Every time I delivered her monthly assorted food items, she always expressed her gratitude to the HFN Donors because life became easier after HFN absorbed her in the feeding program. She would pray and speak a blessing to the HFN Donors and Members. 

She will dearly be missed.

May her soul rest in eternal peace.

This  is Victory Muthuri, he is Fridah’s son. He did his final exam for primary  school education in November and he passed really well. He scored 378 out of 500 marks. He has been invited to join a National Secondary school which is very expensive but Fridah will not be able to afford the fees.  She is kindly requesting HFN to help her with the fees. The school fee per year in a National Secondary School is ksh.65, 000 per year. 

This George, he is Mary Wairimu’s grandchild. He is the one who takes care of his grandmother. He does casual jobs at construction sites but lately it has become so hard to find a job due to the tough economic times in Kenya. He has a three year old daughter called Precious, who has cerebral Palsy. She is not able to stand or walk on her own and she also keeps having seizures. The doctor has advised him that she needs to undergo physiotherapy sessions  that will help her to walk and also take certain medication which will help to stop the seizures. The medication the doctor prescribed costs ksh. 3,000 and sadly George is really struggling to get the money, most times is when his daughter just goes without the medication.  He is humbly requesting HFN to help him with his daughter’s Medication

I did the Christmas shopping for the families and made the deliveries to their homes.  The economy in Kenya is really bad and things have become so expensive and most of the families preferred to get assorted food items for Christmas but Martin, Fridah and her sons got new shoes.

Schools are on holiday but yesterday I met with the girls at their school and they got each a pack of sanitary towels .

Our hearts are filled with so much joy and happiness for your kindness towards us. We are truly grateful for your support.

Thank you so much and we wish all the HFN Donors and Members a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
