- As of the latest update, the amount raised reached KSh 840,000, with significant contributors being Moses Kuria, Dama Spares, and Dennis Itumbi.
Renowned comedian and content creator Henry Desagu is apparently going through a difficult period.
Is Desagu struggling with alcohol addiction and depression?
Some close acquaintances and prominent individuals with ties to him have reportedly expressed concerns that he may be experiencing symptoms of depression and a dependency on alcohol.
Note: I've kept the direct quote from the original text, which is "Mo Farm", as it appears to be a proper noun given the context. If it was not a proper noun, I would have rephrased it.
In a heartfelt post, Mo Farm extended his condolences, saying:
“For the sake of Henry DeSagu, I offer a prayer. It is distressing to behold a friend in such a difficult state.”
The post included several photos of Desagu in a state of distress, with Mo Farm assisting him into his car.
The fundraising campaign has been initiated by the supporters.
Mo Farm's public campaign has generated a fundraising effort aimed at supporting Desagu's recovery.
The initiative has been supported by well-known public figures, such as politicians, musicians, and business leaders.
Leading the charge are prominent Mugithi artist Samidoh, Gatundu North MP Njoroge Kururia, and State House counselor Moses Kuria.
A Member of Parliament, Kururia, posted on Facebook, asking constituents to donate to cover medical and rehabilitation costs for Desagu, citing the urgent need with a fundraising goal of KSh 1 million.
"We will not stand idly by as this remarkable young man, Henry DeSagu, whose humor has the ability to bring joy to all of us, succumbs to depression and alcoholism. We will pray for his recovery and ensure he receives top-notch medical care, and get our vibrant and lively Henry back," Kururia wrote.
The Member of Parliament additionally shared updates on Desagu's condition, indicating that he had been admitted to the Mathari Hospital due to a noticeable decline in his health.
I'll get my few friends to contribute one million shillings for Desagu's rehabilitation and other expenses. I'll start with my initial contribution of 100,000 shillings.
As of the latest update, the fundraiser has raised 840,000 Kenyan Shillings, just 160,000 Kenyan Shillings short of its target.
Prominent figures such as Moses Kuria, Dama Spares, Dennis Itumbi and Maurine Kabu have already supported this cause.
