Kenyans on social media have come out to show love and support for nurse Wanja Mwaura as she battles COVID-19.
On Sunday, Wanja posted a heartbreaking message on Facebook, saying she is almost giving up the fight.
“I want to give up now. Done my best fighting. No longer strong enough to keep up the fight. Am down to my very last. I need to rest from this pain n discomfort. I am tired,” Wanja wrote.
Wanja, who is admitted at Thika Hospital, had earlier requested Kenyans to pray for her as she battles the disease.
“It has been a tough night, breathing is an issue, I’m tired of the heavy breathing n deep breath, fevers skyrocketing, I don’t know which is the best position to sleep on despite trying to sleep on my belly. It is super crazy,” she said.
“I need your help family. I need to pull this through for the sake of my children. Say a prayer for me dear ones.”
Kenyans online are rallying behind the nurse and are sending her messages of encouragement.
“May the Lord come through for you, do not give up you are stronger than this!!,” Jen Njihia said.
“You can’t give up remember your babies are waiting for you at home very eager to give you the biggest hug. You are a fighter and utayashinda yote,” Christine Nyambura wrote.
Wanja warned the hearts of many Kenyans in 2017 after rescuing her childhood friend, who was living in the streets. She was heading to the market in Lower Kabete when she heard someone call her name and noticed that the voice was that of Patrick Hinga, her childhood friend and primary school classmate.
Wanja took him off the streets and took him to Chiromo Lane Medical Center for treatment and later for rehabilitation at Retreat Rehabilitation Centre in Nairobi.
Hinga had reformed before he died of stomach complications two years later in 2019.
Don’t give up; just Lay,…
Don’t give up; just Lay, Rest, or Sleep facedown (on you Stomach). Laying, Resting, or Sleeping on your Stomach expands your Ribcage, and therefore your Lungs for Quick and Plenty intake of Oxygen. Screw those Money laundering Oxygen tanks.
The Mighty Hand of God is…
The Mighty Hand of God is with you today Wanja! His glorious name is Mighty! His healing Face is shining at you! It is well, it is well deep in your soul! It shall be well in your soul! God bless you!
@ Kanyi, Iam not sure if Iam…
@ Kanyi, Iam not sure if Iam following you.Are you saying that God will heal her? Well that would be great.But why should she go through all these suffering if God has the power to not allow it?Or, does God have anything to do with this?I wonder…
Obviously there is so much mankind does not understand,and may be never will,but keeping seek solutions and answers to these hard questions is better than blind faith.
@Maxiley you’ve NO faith in…
@Maxiley you’ve NO faith in God. You’re instead the Epitome of a Nonbeliever; in fact an Atheist. And so for anyone to discuss Faith with you would be a Waste of Breath; or like planting Seed on a Rock.
@Guest1,please read the two…
@Guest1,please read the two comments bellow this. I guess people like you just follow things blindly. I suggest you take the”RED PILL”.
@maxiley – is it that…
@maxiley – is it that difficult for you to wish a COVID 19 patient a get well soon message? Would it have been better if it were your blood sister or a close family member of yours?
What do you not understand about wishing this desperate nurse well? Please take the “blue pill” and chill!
We all hope you will never get COVID 19 there in Florida where you gava is flouting all kinds of health rule!
I would have cursed you out if I thought you are a stupid dummy!! But I assume you are just acting boyish here.
Have a bit of compassion for others and stop being silly with serious issues! At 6’4”, you should know better regardless of the fact that you studied finance.
Iam sure you are smart to…
Iam sure you are smart to understand that Iam not discouraging people from wishing her well.I certainly did not indicate that.Otherwise,please quote me. All Iam questioning is the God part,that if he has the power to heal,why not cure this lady?.This has nothing to do with human beings. Iam I clear to you now?
Besides that, I have you own, beliefs, I have mine,and you have the right to question my beliefs.And I invite you to do so respectively.Just like I respectfully asked my questions. That’s all
@ Joe, actually you are side…
@ Joe, actually you are side stepping the issue. I have no problem with wishing ,or giving any sick person a get well message.Believe it or not, I wish she comes through.So I have no difficulty with that.Why do you get the idea that I have a difficult with someone wishing another well? Certainly I did not articulate that in my comment.Please re read,and let me know if I missed something.
# Guest 1, would you say…
# Guest 1, would you say that your God created me this way? Just like the created crazies in mental hospitals.Dont blame me for questioning.That’s how we arrive at solutions,and discoveries. When Newton discovered gravity, there had been many apples ,and other “fruits”falling.But he stopped,and wondered why only down,and not sideways. Remember early christians believed that the earth was flat,and suggesting otherwise would get you killed? Yes question, question,question,and if it does not have an answer for now,so be it..
So please answer my questions.If you have no answers,just say so,instead of seeking refuge in this impotent faith.
People think that if they…
People think that if they aggressively assert something and call it the mighty hand of God, it will happen as they please. In the end the results are probabilistic; some survive, some don’t. But humans have an explanation for every event. As for me I wish this wonderful woman a full recovery; may her doctors succeed.
God is a fantasy. There is…
God is a fantasy. There is no God!!! Religion is just a ‘fallacy’ devised to give our life meaning of which without, it’ll be a state of nature. Why is the ‘God’ they are taunting be so sadistic???
Your distractions @maxiley…
Your distractions @maxiley will not keep others from praying for Wanja! She is in the Lord’s hands!
Unfortunately you are of no faith and believes in the log next to your house. Kind of putty you but oh well!
It shall be well for Wanja!
See what I mean. Why is my…
See what I mean. Why is my asking adistraction? I have asked questions,if you dont have answers that’s fine.May be someone onthis forum has answers. If I knew I wouldnt ask.I have in no way suggested that prayers should stop.Have I, please quote me?Re-read my comments please.
I really feel you..in some…
I really feel you..in some of these situations questioning is inevitable because it is difficult to understand the mysterious ways.I also question sometimes but sometimes faith is all I got as difficult as it gets to believe..atleast hope is better than none. But that question is legit.
Pls hang on my dear, the…
Pls hang on my dear, the Lord is with you

Wanja, you cannot and are not going to give up now. OUR PRAYERS ARE THAT YOU HEAL QUICKLY AND CONTINUE DOING THE GREAT WORK.
QUICK RECOVERY.
@Maxiley, it is alright to…
@Maxiley, it is alright to question and I understand where you are coming from. Faith, like politics is a very subjective entity. I for one know there is a greater power than us and until you experience its presence, then you cannot define or even try to articulate it. Along the same vein of questioning or being a critical thinker, I ask- how is Wanja able to have the energy to go on social media? People in the throes of Covid-19 are usually too weak for anything. Pole kwa wingi dada, lakini pole with a peak a boo side eye. Just saying.
@ Sukari, Iam glad that you…
@ Sukari, Iam glad that you understand where Iam coming from.some commentators here get the impression that Iam against prayers.My questions are pretty clear.Why is God letting this lady suffer if He has the power to heal her?I dont understand why some get made when I ask this. Is it because they are frustrated that their is no answer? There is not shame in saying that I dont know the answer instead of avoiding the question by demeaning aperson.What say you?
@Maxiley…sometimes we…
@Maxiley…sometimes we simply don’t have an answer. Let go bro.
