Joel Komba, a 23-year-old Kenyan, has finally managed to take his sick father to the hospital, thanks to an overwhelming wave of support from kind-hearted Kenyans.
Joel’s story touched many after it was revealed that he regularly cycled over 400 kilometers from Nairobi to Lugari, just to visit his father, who had been battling throat cancer since October 2024.
With limited resources and no stable income, Joel had no choice but to rely on his bicycle to travel between the city and his rural home. His father’s condition, requiring constant hospital visits, was getting worse, and Joel was doing everything he could to help.
The young man’s story went viral on social media, sparking an outpouring of support from well-wishers across the country. Kenyans from all walks of life offered both financial help and emotional encouragement.
Thanks to their generosity, Joel was able to take his father to a specialist hospital for advanced treatment.
A deeply grateful Joel shared his heartfelt thanks, saying, “I had lost hope, but Kenyans restored it.” He remains hopeful that his father will recover and one day be strong enough to walk again. “This is just the beginning of healing,” he said.
