Mike Sonko Moved to Tears After Meeting Woman Maimed by Hyenas

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has once again demonstrated his philanthropic spirit after an emotional encounter with a woman from Machakos who survived a horrific hyena attack.

The woman, whose identity was not immediately disclosed, shared her harrowing story during an interview, revealing how the vicious attack left her without an eye and an arm.

Her emotional narration moved Sonko to tears, highlighting the immense physical and emotional pain she has endured, coupled with the financial struggles that have followed.

“Life has not been easy,” the woman told reporters. “I can’t pay rent and sometimes go without food.”

Deeply touched by her story, Sonko took immediate action, clearing her rent for three months and going a step further to commit to supporting her medical care.

He announced plans to help her get an artificial eye, providing hope where there had previously been despair.

“We have already fixed an appointment for her to be seen by a team of eye specialists on Tuesday,” Sonko confirmed in a social media post. “We will do everything possible to restore her dignity.”

The former governor, known for his bold and sometimes controversial acts of generosity, has been praised by Kenyans online for stepping in to support the woman during what is clearly a difficult time in her life.

This act of kindness adds to a growing list of charitable initiatives by Sonko, who has built a reputation for coming to the aid of the needy and vulnerable across the country.

Social media users have commended his swift response and called on others to emulate such compassion.

As the woman now prepares to undergo a medical evaluation with specialists, many hope that Sonko’s gesture will not only change her life but also raise awareness on the plight of hyena attacks and the need for better support systems for victims.
