It is with a truly heavy heart that we share this sad news. A couple of days ago, on Wednesday June 25th, we received truly shocking news that Pat and Stella Njoroge’s younger brother (the last born of a family of 5), James Gitau Njoroge passed away quietly in his sleep. James, who was known to many as Gitau (Git), had recently been admitted to Karen General Hospital for a day and he passed away on Tuesday night following medical complications. This is a truly sad event and has obviously caught us by surprise.
Most of you remember James very well as he spent the last 8 years in the USA and had just recently, this past December, returned to Kenya . He made many friends here and has left a lasting impression on many folks mostly with his outgoing personality and his charismatic nature. Our dear younger brother has now departed and is with the Lord. We take this opportunity to thank those of you who have called on us personally as well as via the phone. We are definitely comforted by your words of encouragement and your prayers.
Due to the unexpected nature of this event, we are reaching out to you to help us raise funds that will enable Pat, Stella and Andrew Njoroge fly back to Nairobi ASAP to pay their last respects to their younger brother and be with her family in this time of need. As you can imagine, this is an urgent request as the funeral has been planned for this coming week. We are kindly requesting you to assist us raise the required funds, We will forever be truly grateful.
A fundraiser has been set for Saturday June 28th at Grace Munius’ residence, 12719 Layhill Road Apt 201 , Silver Spring , Maryland @ 3:00 PM . Or you can choose to drop off your donation at Bank of America (see info below). We are looking to raise the required funds as quickly as we can. We certainly appreciate your assistance.
As we try to come to terms with this loss, we are strengthened spiritually knowing that God gives and God takes away. Thank you again for your support both in prayer and in kind. We will definitely keep you posted on matters related to this event.
