Gladys Kamande came into the spotlight in December last year
when a photo of a street kid praying for her while she was stuck in traffic
went viral. Kamande was blind and confined to a wheelchair for seven good
years and was forced to carry around an oxygen cylinder for survival.
This saw Kenyans come together and contribute towards
Kamande’s medical kitty. Kamande left for India where she was treated and came
back in March this year. She took to social media to thank Kenyans for helping
her.
“Kwa Majina Naitwa Gladys Wairimu Kamande. Nilikuwa Mgonjwa
Sana. Nilikuwa Nimepotea Macho 2010. Sikuwa Na Pumua, Nilikuwa Nabebanisha
Mitungi Ya Oxygen Pamoja Generator. Lakini Nikaja Kwa Wakenya, Tukawaomba
Msaada Na Mkakubali Kutusaidia. Mlitusaidia Na Pesa Zenu Na Hata
Maombi. Kwa Saa Hii Macho Yangu Inaona. Nimekaa 7 Years Bila Kuona.
Nilienda Na Nikatibiwa India Na Sasa Ninaona. Kwa Sasa Niko Sawa
Ninaona. Mungu Amenisaidia. Nimeshukuru Sana Kwa Wale Wote Mumenisaidia Kwa
Maombi Na Fedha. Mungu Awabariki.”
Kenyans had contribute Ksh 9.3m and Kamande used Ksh 5.3m on
her all treatment leaving a balance of Ksh 4m.
But a month ago, Gladys and activist Ndungu Nyoro who
was at the forefront of fundraising for her cause were tussling over the
remaining amount. According to sources, Kamande was demanding for the balance
– many claimed that she wanted to use the funds buy a piece of land
(buroti maguta maguta).
This back and forth turned ugly leaving Kenyans with more
questions than answers but finally the matter was settled.
Well, Kamande has been sharing beautiful photos of herself
on social media and its evident that she is happy. She took to Facebook to
thank God for healing her and here is what she wrote;
‘Ndiui Undu Ungi Noatiri Ndironaga Nariu.Nidirona Ngai
Guguturira Matuku Makwa Mothe” (Loosely Translated To; Sijui Kitu Ingine But
Sasa Ninaona. Mungu Nitakusifu Siku Zangu Zote)
Kamande added another post which was attracted more than 150
likes.
