Eric Omondi met Meshack Opiyo, Albert Ojwang’s distraught father, and paid his respects to him. Kenyans reacted favorably to the comedian’s online appeal for donations for Meshack.
After the initial M-Pesa number ran out, Eric provided a backup number so that Albert’s family could continue to receive assistance.
He met and offered condolences to his father, Meshack Opiyo, while he was there. How can you help the family of Albert Ojwang?
In addition, the charitable comic started an internet fundraising campaign, asking supporters to donate any amount to Meshack’s phone number.
How many more do we have to bury? Let’s support Baba Albert, Team Sisi Kwa Sisi. Albert left behind a son who is three years old.
Let us make sure he never goes without anything. I hope he knows that his father was a hero when he passed away.
Read Baba Albert’s letter and send anything you can to his number, 0727927898 (NAME: MESHACK OPIYO).
Kindhearted Kenyans flocked to his call, and in a matter of minutes, Meshack’s M-Pesa number was at capacity and unable to take any more money.
Many Kenyans so begged Eric to get Meshack a pay bill number, so he could keep getting assistance. In a subsequent post, Eric disclosed that the other M-Pesa number was full and gave his alternate number.
Some Kenyans observed that the alternate number was not taking money even after providing a second one: Hon. David Ochola: “Please get him a paybill, Eric.”
Lucy Ndunguh: “Well done, Eric. Even if you can’t afford it, you can still visit that man in person and give him a hand when he breaks.
Say a prayer with him; I know that the loss of his son is causing him a lot of emotional pain. It’s another wonderful support.”
