Singer Wahu Kagwi Mathenge, popularly known as Wahu, has managed to raise a total of Sh180,000 for one of her fans identified as Eunice Reuben.
Eunice is a person living with disability and reliant on a wheelchair. Due to other complications from her condition, Eunice needed an electric wheelchair to ease strain on her arms.
The fan caught Wahu's attention when she participated in a recent TikTok challenge Back It Up, christened after a song The Mz (Nameless and Wahu) released in October.
The Mz invited Eunice and other TikTokers to Oktober Fest and Wahu narrates that the event provided a platform for her to have a deeper conversation with Eunice.

"That's when I got to find out that the she needs an automated wheelchair. You see Eunice, 28, was born without her lower limbs a condition known as phocomelia. She also has a condition called mirror movement disorder, where her hands struggle to move independently of each other. In addition, her right hand is very weak and she can't push herself on a manual wheelchair. The wheelchair that she needs costs 180,000k," Wahu posted a day ago.
Touched by the generosity from her other fans, Wahu updated that the fundraiser had been closed after meeting the Sh180,000 target.
