Kenyans on Friday rallied behind K24 anchor Anjlee Gadvi who was diagnosed with liver cancer, helping her raise over Sh6 million within hours.
The anchor was on Friday hosted on Kameme FM's breakfast show by Njogu Njoroge where she disclosed that she was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2013 when she was 7 months pregnant with her second born and has been in and out of the country for treatment that has so far cost her Sh7 milllion.
She also said that she had kept quiet about her battle with the illness until she could not raise the money privately anymore thus she had no option but to ask for help in raising the funds,little by little listeners of the show started contributing.
By the time the presenter left the studio at 9:50 a.m, Kenyans had contributed Sh6.4 million of the required Sh8 million.
"Mine is just to thank Kenyans who contributed this morning. They have done it before and now have done it for Anjlee," said Mr Njoroge.
On Twitter, the hashtag #isupportanjlee was the top trend in the morning as Kenyans sent their get well messages to Ms Gadvi .A paybill number 513513 has been registered to help raise the rest of the money required for Anjlee to get a liver transplant in India.
