During a live Instagram session, comedian Timothy Kimani, known as Njugush, provided an update on the fundraising efforts.

“You guys are amazing. This is just an update on what is happening online. I want to thank you for your support. We just came from a meeting and we needed to raise about 5 million. There was an outstanding hospital bill. It is only fair that we support her mother to pay the bill and the funeral. Thank you for your support. We are more than halfway there and we know we will finish this journey together,” Njugush said.

He also urged Kenyans and Njambi’s friends to continue contributing, emphasizing the community’s collective effort to honor her memory and support her family during this difficult time.
