Facing a decade of childlessness in their marriage, which began in 2008 after meeting at a Nakuru church, the couple turned their struggle into a blessing for others. Despite their own challenges, they generously supported those around them who were expecting, even extending their kindness to orphanages.
After six years of marriage, Wanjiru sought medical help for hormonal imbalance, while her husband encouraged her to undergo tests and treatment. Undeterred by the setbacks, the couple embarked on a faith-driven journey, buying clothes for their future child during international travels. Their unwavering commitment to creating a room for their baby demonstrated their resilience and determination.
Finally, in April 2022, after a decade-long wait, the couple was joyously blessed with their firstborn son. The story serves as an inspiring testament to faith, perseverance, and the power of love in the face of difficulty.
