In a deeply emotional video that has touched millions on TikTok, Kaluma Boy’s father made his first public appearance, expressing heartfelt gratitude to Kenyans for standing with his family during their most difficult moments.
The elderly man, appearing visibly frail but full of faith, thanked well-wishers for their overwhelming support and invited them to attend the upcoming thanksgiving service at Bishop Muthee Kiengei’s church.
“Thank you, Kenya. You have shown that you care. My son has told me what you have done. I invite all of you who supported us to come and celebrate with us,” he said, his trembling voice carrying both strength and vulnerability — a reflection of the hardships he and his son have endured.
Kaluma Boy, the young TikToker who captured the nation’s heart, rose to fame after sharing his touching story of caring for his ailing father while struggling financially. His courage and humility inspired Kenyans online, sparking a massive wave of donations, prayers, and goodwill.
Many of his followers have since pledged to attend the thanksgiving event — not only to celebrate the family’s resilience but also to honor the power of unity and compassion.
Supporters have urged that beyond the ceremony, continued help in healthcare, education, and livelihood would ensure lasting impact for the family.
The thanksgiving service is expected to draw social media influencers, church leaders, and hundreds of ordinary Kenyans, all united by the family’s journey from pain to purpose.
As the date draws near, one message continues to echo across Kenya — a father’s voice of gratitude, hope, and renewed strength, reminding the nation that when love leads, miracles follow.
