Rebecca Wanjiru, Acworth, GA—Rebecca Wanjiru passed away unexpectedly on November 6, 2023, following a brief illness. Her family has been grappling with unimaginable grief after her passing just days after they buried her daughter-in-law, Jane, on October 25, 2023. The heartbreak deepened with the sudden loss of her son, Bernard Njoroge, who died on November 10, 2023, after being rushed to Thika Hospital just days before.
Rebecca’s niece, Kelen Ngure, has reached out to the community for support in covering the medical and funeral expenses for both Rebecca and her son. In Kenya, families are required to pay hospital bills in full before a body can be released, adding an extra layer of financial strain to an already overwhelming emotional burden. The family hopes to lay both Rebecca and Bernard to rest on the same day and is asking for help to give them a dignified burial.
A fundraiser organized by Peter Njoroge has been set up, with a goal of covering the costs associated with their burial. So far, $250 has been raised through the kindness of donors like Peter Njoroge and Brenda Anelas.
As the family continues to mourn, the community’s support is a beacon of hope, offering both financial relief and emotional comfort during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wanjiru and Njoroge families.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rebecca Wanjiru and her son Bernard. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family during this heartbreaking time.
