Legendary gospel singer Jemimah Thiongo has made a heartfelt appeal to the public for assistance in raising Sh3 million to cover her husband’s mounting hospital expenses. Francis Thiongo, her husband, has been left immobile following complications from what was initially a minor surgical procedure.
Jemimah, known for her inspiring gospel hits like “AKISEMA ATAKUBARIKI,” shared the distressing news through a touching video circulating on social media. She revealed that Francis has been hospitalized for nearly three months, battling complications that arose post-surgery.
“My husband Francis Thiongo walked into the hospital one day for a small procedure, but it turned into a major issue, leaving him immobile. He has been in the hospital for nearly three months. We have held two fundraisers with the help of family and friends, raising 2.7 million shillings. However, we still have a deficit of 3 million shillings. We are appealing to you to stand with us and help raise the money needed to clear the bill,” Jemimah shared in the video.
The singer did not disclose the specific illness affecting her husband but emphasized the financial strain due to hospital bills from two medical facilities. Despite their efforts, including holding two successful fundraisers that garnered Sh2.7 million, they are still short of the required amount to settle the bills.
“We need to get him home. Thank you to all our friends who have stood by us and all the churches for their prayers. If you want to help, please send your financial assistance to PAY BILL: 8056821,” she added.
Jemimah Thiongo’s appeal has touched many, with friends, fans, and the broader community rallying to support her during this challenging time. Her dedication to her faith and music has inspired countless people, and now, in her time of need, the community is responding with generosity and compassion.
For those moved by Jemimah’s plea and wishing to offer financial assistance, contributions can be sent to the PAY BILL number provided: 8056821. Every donation brings the Thiongo family closer to reuniting and easing the burden of these overwhelming medical expenses.
Jemimah Thiongo remains hopeful and grateful for the outpouring of support, underscoring the power of community and faith in overcoming life’s most difficult challenges.
