Kenyan comedian Eric Omondi<\/strong> has shared a heartwarming update on the ongoing construction of an apartment complex he is building for Mama Simon<\/strong>, a woman from Githurai<\/strong> whose story touched the hearts of many earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The project, which was initiated after actress Dorea Chege<\/strong> highlighted Mama Simon\u2019s difficult living conditions, has now reached a major milestone \u2014 the building has risen to its third storey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

A Dream Taking Shape<\/h3>\n

According to Omondi, the ground floor<\/strong> of the building is already complete and now serves as Mama Simon\u2019s new home<\/strong>, while construction of the upper floors continues. The comedian expressed pride in the progress and gratitude to Kenyans who have supported the initiative so far.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve now reached the third floor,\u201d Omondi shared in a social media update. \u201cThe goal is to finish the remaining eight rental units soon so the family can have a steady source of income.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The project\u2019s vision goes beyond providing a roof over the family\u2019s head \u2014 it aims to create long-term financial stability<\/strong> through rental income once all the units are complete.<\/p>\n

\n

From Desperation to Hope<\/h3>\n

Mama Simon, an ailing mother from Githurai, became a symbol of resilience after her story spread online earlier this year. Dorea Chege was among the first to bring her plight to light, mobilizing Kenyans to help.<\/p>\n

Eric Omondi soon stepped in, taking charge of constructing a multi-storey apartment<\/strong> to transform the family\u2019s living conditions. His gesture quickly drew widespread praise from fans and fellow public figures who commended his commitment to social impact.<\/p>\n

Fans Praise Omondi\u2019s Kindness<\/h3>\n

In response to his latest update, fans flooded Omondi\u2019s comment section with messages of encouragement.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost inspiring video I\u2019ve watched today,\u201d added another.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mama Simon also expressed her deep gratitude to all who have supported the initiative, saying their generosity has restored hope to her family.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI pray that God blesses everyone who has helped us,\u201d she said emotionally. \u201cPlease continue standing with us until the remaining floors are completed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
