What began as an innocent encounter at a liquor store turned into a life-altering tragedy for Jedidah Wanjiku. She met a charming man, unaware he was married, and their secret affair soon spiraled into a nightmare.
When Jedidah decided to end the relationship, the man’s obsession grew more intense. Matters took a darker turn when his wife discovered the affair. In a shocking act of vengeance, she allegedly attacked Jedidah with acid, leaving her with severe injuries and permanent damage to her eyes.
Emergency surgery gave Jedidah a brief ray of hope as she regained partial vision. But her progress was tragically cut short after an infection — triggered following a visit from a friend that reignited old conflicts — left her nearly blind once again.
Now, her only chance to see again lies in a cornea transplant in India, which will cost KSh 4 million. Jedidah is appealing to well-wishers to help her raise the funds so she can restore her sight and rebuild her life.
