This Christmas season, Kiambu County Woman Representative Ann Wamuratha has every reason to celebrate. Her efforts, alongside those of key leaders, have brought health and hope to a family burdened by a hefty hospital bill.

Benjamin, a Githurai resident originally from Kandara in Murang’a County, had been hospitalized at Reale Hospital in Utawala for eight months, amassing a medical bill of Ksh 1.6 million. However, thanks to the combined intervention of President William Ruto, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Hon. Betty N. Maina, and Wamuratha herself, Benjamin’s financial burden has been lifted.

This act of kindness not only restores Benjamin’s health but also renews his family’s faith in the spirit of giving during the festive season. Speaking about the intervention, Hon. Wamuratha expressed her gratitude and highlighted the importance of preparedness for medical emergencies.

She urged all Kenyans to register for the State House Affiliation (SHA) program, emphasizing that if Benjamin had been enrolled, the prolonged financial strain might have been avoided.

“This is a moment to thank God and celebrate the power of unity and compassion. Let us continue to uplift each other and make a difference where it matters most,” she remarked.

As the festive season unfolds, this heartwarming story is a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas – giving, hope, and togetherness.
