According to her father, Njeri left for Qatar in 2022 after finding work before falling ill while there.
In a comma, Njeri has been in intensive care for over a month but has recently become reactive.
Kiragu, who is struggling to cope with the pain Njeri is going through, said he has lost sleep thinking about her progress.
Presently, Kiragu says he has sold his possessions but the amount is far of what was required, and he urges the Good Samaritan to offer help to save his daughter’s life.
