“If you can’t cheer the fact that I’m alive, I’m sad for you” Njambi Koikai responds to Facebook group discussing her health and fundraising
Njambi Koikai has had to deal with critics since she first made public appeal to help her raise money for her treatment abroad.
Even some of Njambi’s relatives came out to claim that she was using money raised for her to put up flats on the land belonging to her grandmother.
Njambi however has been very open about her condition, she updates her fans on social media about the slightest test that’s carried on her.
Even so, some people still questions Njambi’s health and fundraising. The popular TV presenter was forced to respond to a Facebook group that was questioning her sincerity.
Nothing to hide
Njambi explained in detail her condition and how she ended up asking for a fundraiser to undergo treatment in Atlanta, America.
I’ve just seen a group on facebook discussing my health and my fundraising. Well i begin by stating this. You go misdiagnosed for 19years. You undergo more than 12 surgeries. You lose your job. While you’re at it, your grandma who raised you has pancreatic cancer stage 4. There’s only one person working with an income helping the entire family. She couldn’t manage it alone. The entertainment company you run is out of business.You step out and still hustle while you’re sick. You have no medical insurance. After every hospital admission in Nairobi, comes a bill of 300k. You later find out what the problem is. You arm yourself with all the knowledge and information. You embark on a journey to find doctors who can treat you. You get to America and the surgery is done. You develop more complications. The American healthcare system is nothing close to our system at home. The bills are crazy. I’m recovering greatly and if that is something that makes anyone doubt my fight, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry and sad that anyone would think I’m here taking advantage of people. I’m relearning everything. My body was reset to factory settings. It’s so sad that people still have so much to say. I’ve laid my life bare for the whole world to see sometimes against the wishes of my family because i want to LIVE. I’VE FOUGHT TO LIVE. I’M FIGHTING SO THAT OTHER WOMEN WILL NEVER HAVE TO FUNDRAISE AND GO THROUGH THIS FRUSTRATION. I’VE REBELLED AGAINST WHAT DOCTORS TOLD ME AT HOME. GOD’S BEEN WITH ME. I’VE HEARD LOADS SAID ABOUT ME. I WON’T STOP UNTIL I’M 100% RECOVERED. NOBODY WANTS TO BE IN MY SITUATION.
NO ONE WANTS THIS FRUSTRATION.
IT’S MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY DRAINING.
IF I DIED THEY WOULD STILL TALK. I’M HERE FOR A GREAT REASON AND IF YOU CAN’T SUPPORT AND GENUINELY CHEER THE FACT THAT I’M ALIVE, I’M SAD FOR YOU. IF YOU SERIOUSLY CAN’T CHEER THE FACT THAT I’VE BROUGHT HOPE TO SO MANY LITTLE GIRLS, I’M SAD FOR YOU.
RECOVERY IS NOT EASY. I’M NOT RECOVERING FROM A HEADACHE. I’M RECOVERING FROM DECADES OF PAIN. PAIN YOU WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND.
I’M AGAINST WOMEN WHO ALWAYS PUT OTHER WOMEN DOWN.
IT’S PLAIN WRONG. This is an old pic.
