Mama Gift, the woman who was visited by thousands of TikTokers at her home in Kiambu County, has asked for forgiveness from Bishop Muthee Kiengei and requested his help. Mama Gift, who is seeking forgiveness from Bishop Kiengei. Gift was born to this young mother years ago, but she has been experiencing multiple health conditions that have drained her physically, emotionally, and financially. Mama Gift needed money to take her baby to India for specialised treatment, and because of desperation, she ended up online to seek help. TikTokers heard her plea and organised to help her raise money for the little boy, and it all culminated in a grand visit. TikTokers did not only gift cash to the woman, but they also bought a machine for the boy and backup one in case the lights go out.
Why did Mama Gift ask for forgiveness? Thousands of people visited Mama Gift, and during that time, Kiengei was also slated to visit, but he did not show up. It emerged that he may have been offended by some TikTokers. “Personally, I did not say anything wrong with the heart he had for helping this child to get help. May God make him help us. He should help us so that the baby gets help and he gets treatment,” she said. Sonnie, who had gone to see Mama Gift, also pleaded with Kiengei and the compassionate members at the Jesus Compassionate Ministry (JCM) to help the young woman. “I have been here and it is very hard, please Kiengei, I don’t know what was said about you but please help this woman,” she said.

You promised man of God before the world that you’d send baby gift to India by Wednesday — why didn’t you honour your word? Aii, is it because of TikTok insults or what’s the grudge for? As a man of God, you should forgive and help out🙏.” Maina Kibunyi: “People should stop worshipping humans. Putting their trust in the bishop rather than God.” Rasta baiby💞: “But Kanyari alisema atasimamia Kila kitu ukieda lndia.” Liz_Shee🧿: “Na siogopi kuuliza, why is Priscillah wa Imani receiving money on her personal M-Pesa instead apeane paybill ya mama gift.” f de rose: “I’m really lost and confused, I thought even Jimmy Wanjigi said they would support the trip and maintenance.” Kabu254: “We said most of the TikTokers going there wanaenda road trip na kuonwa watu wakatusiana…kuchanga 5 million it’s not easy,it needs a movement..Anyway,hope Bishop Ben atawahurumia aende asaidie mtoto juu kwake in 30 minutes mtoto atakuwa amesaidika.”
