00:23Touching House
00:31We are the family of UTV
00:34Today, we are in a place known as Kajora
00:38This is Nyeri County
00:40When you cross the river, you reach this place
00:45I don't know what to start by saying
00:49There is a difference with the place we are in
00:53This man, Kelvin
00:56I would like you to take a minute to look at him
01:02Look at his mother
01:06Try to put yourself in her shoes, Kelvin
01:13Now, we have a pocket here
01:19The place he is in, even the pain he is going through
01:27It is God who is helping him
01:48When you are in trouble, you need our help
02:00We will hold your hand
02:04We will show you the way
02:07Together, we can do it
02:11Together, we can do it
02:15Touching House, Touching House
02:19My name is Naomi Wanjiru
02:23I am Kelvin's mother
02:26Kelvin is my first born
02:29He was a strong man
02:32He was healthy and he was doing his job
02:36But he had a growth in his muscles
02:42He was operated on on the 1st and 2nd
02:46He was operated on on the 3rd
02:50That is when he started having problems
02:54He was operated on on the 9th
02:57He was fine
03:00But in December, he started having problems
03:05So, I came here in December
03:10We met him to see if we could help him
03:16We started with a small amount of money
03:20But it was too much for us
03:23Because he was in a lot of pain
03:26He was in a lot of pain
03:29We couldn't finish the job
03:35We couldn't finish the job
03:44If I could help him, I would like to know how he is now
03:49Because I am very worried about him
03:52Because I am very worried about him
03:54I used to be a VC at a hotel
03:58I used to be a VC at a hotel
04:02I used to do business there, but this disease has come and destroyed everything.
04:11This is not my home, this is my mother's home.
04:15I came here to be able to be with her.
04:20They have kept me here.
04:22Even when I have a problem, I don't feel like going anywhere.
04:27My mother doesn't work, there's nothing she does.
04:31She stays at home.
04:33We use the milk she sells.
04:37I have school children.
04:40I go to school, but I don't have a job.
04:42I'm just like that.
04:44I'm just like that.
04:46Sometimes she tries to hide the pain she's going through.
04:49But when you look at her, you see that she's going through a lot of pain.
04:53Sometimes I don't want to comfort her, but when I look at her...
04:56It's because she knows she can hide the pain she's going through.
05:01But I'm like her mother.
05:03I have a hard time comforting her.
05:05I have a hard time hiding the pain she's going through in my heart.
05:10It's very painful.
05:12It's painful like a mother.
05:15When you look at your child, she's in pain.
05:18When you look at your child, she's going through pain.
05:21It's painful.
05:23I have a lot of problems.
05:26When I'm going through a lot of pain, I have a hard time comforting myself.
05:29Even my mother can tell me.
05:31I can't sleep.
05:33I can't sleep.
05:35I ask myself a lot of questions.
05:37I ask myself, what did I do wrong?
05:40This is my child.
05:42I ask myself a lot of questions.
05:45Sometimes I have a hard time.
05:47I can't even take her to the dressing room.
05:50I can't take her to the dressing room.
05:52I ask myself.
05:54I ask myself when I dress her.
05:57By looking at my child, She is in turmoil.
06:08Even my mother can tell me.
06:11I can't sleep.
06:13I ask myself, what did I do wrong?
06:16Even my mother can tell me.
06:19I don't have a job, I don't have the money, I don't have the ability to provide for her.
06:26I don't have the money to take her to the hospital.
06:30When I hear her in pain, when she asks me for something, I can't give it to her.
06:36I know that when I started working, I had a lot of responsibilities.
06:41I had to take care of her.
06:45I know that when I started working, I had a lot of responsibilities.
06:50But now, I don't have a job, I don't have the money.
06:53I don't have the money, I don't have the ability to provide for her.
06:56When I look at Kevin, I live in pain.
06:59When I look at him, sometimes I feel that this body is not mine.
07:03When I look at him, I have a hard time eating.
07:06I can't cook, and I have a hard time eating.
07:10It's painful, it's very painful.
07:13It's painful.
07:15And I'm someone who used to be proud of her work.
07:19I've never had a chance to pray.
07:22I used to have someone who used to tell me,
07:25Mom, please help me, I have no money.
07:28And I used to pray.
07:30But now, I don't have money, I don't have a job.
07:33When I see my daughter in pain, I feel pain.
07:38I used to live in Nairobi.
07:41And like she said, I used to work as a DJ.
07:45But I wasn't really a DJ.
07:48It was more like hiring a turntable.
07:51Like a system for people who need something like a wedding or graduation.
08:00Something like that.
08:03So, I had a growth.
08:07But it didn't help me at all.
08:10And...
08:13After a while,
08:16they took me out when I was small.
08:20Then they took me out when I was big.
08:24But now that I was taken out last year,
08:28it brought more problems.
08:31It started eating now.
08:34And...
08:37We started going to the hospital to get medicine.
08:42And now, I'm the only one here.
08:49I'm giving myself a lot of pressure.
08:56Because I've already accepted it.
09:00Yes.
09:04I feel pain in my body.
09:08But I can't show it to you.
09:11He's hiding it from me.
09:14But I'm having a hard time hiding my pain.
09:18I'm having a hard time.
09:24Yes.
09:26I love you.
09:32You're the only one who's ever been with me.
09:35You walk at the foot.
09:39Even when I'm in the hospital,
09:43you're the one who walks with me.
09:46I love you so much.
09:49I love you.
09:55I love you.
09:59I'm so happy for you.
10:02You're the only one who's ever been with me.
10:06You walk at the foot.
10:09Even when I'm in the hospital,
10:12you're the one who walks with me.
10:16I love you.
10:20I love you.
10:25Sometimes I don't know what to say.
10:33Sometimes I don't know what to say.
10:39I ask myself a lot of questions.
10:43Because God says
10:45it's a blessing to leave Him.
10:48I ask myself why it's a blessing.
10:52I ask myself why it's a blessing.
11:00Kevin, you'll live.
11:03You'll live.
11:05And you'll come to pray.
11:08You'll come to pray.
11:11You'll come to ask others
11:13if they'll be sick like you.
11:16And tell them God can do it.
11:19Tell them God can do it.
11:22When we got in the car,
11:25I could hear someone talking
11:28because of the noise.
11:31I told him to cover his ears.
11:34I told him not to hear people's voices.
11:38Because we don't have a God.
11:41And that's why we're sick.
11:44And he comes to pray.
11:47You'll live.
11:49And you'll do your work like before.
11:53To the family of UTV,
11:56I greet you.
11:59I ask you to help me.
12:03I want to see Kevin.
12:06He's been through a lot.
12:09I want to see Kevin.
12:12He's been through a lot.
12:15He's been through a lot.
12:18Because he doesn't need money
12:21to walk or to eat.
12:24His needs are very bad.
12:27And he doesn't have that ability.
12:31I ask you to help me.
12:34Even if it's a small thing.
12:37Help me.
12:40Because I'm sick of him.
12:43Because I'm sick of him.
12:46The family of UTV,
12:49I ask you to help them.
12:52And those who can,
12:55those who can help them,
12:58I ask you to help them.
13:01I ask you to help them.
13:04I ask you to help them.
13:07And God will bless them.
13:10I ask you to help them.
13:13The family of UTV,
13:16You've seen it.
13:19You've heard it.
13:22Now it's up to you
13:25to do what God wants you to do.
13:28I don't even want to tell you
13:31to put yourself in the shoes of this family.
13:35Do what you can.
13:38Do what you can.
13:41And God will bless you.
13:44My name is Magiwangu.
13:50As I always say,
13:53I've seen a lot in my life.
13:56Today I'm here in Nyeri County.
14:00I have a son here.
14:03He's 28 years old.
14:06He used to do his own work.
14:09But now he's grown up.
14:12I don't even want to tell you
14:15because those who have eyes
14:18will never know.
14:21I just pray
14:24that we don't get tired of God's work.
14:28I'm so happy to see Kevin
14:31he's got hope again.
14:34I don't want to say
14:37or say anything.
14:40I just want to say
14:43that those who don't do God's work
14:46don't get tired.
14:49Because we've seen in our data
14:52that there are those who don't get tired.
14:55I know that all the work we've done
14:58all these years
15:01is for you.
15:04Don't go looking for a blessing
15:07to build a house in Gorofa.
15:10But look for a blessing
15:13for yourself
15:16to be healthy.
15:19Thank you so much.
15:22God bless you
15:25and your family.
15:31God bless you.
