Meru: Thoughtful Grandkids Furnish Ageing Grandma's House During Family Get Together

• An ageing grandma had a day to remember when her grandchildren upgraded her house
• Led by businesswoman Kami Mbaabu, the thoughtful grandkids contributed funds for new furniture and fittings
• As a show of gratitude, the grandma asked them to kneel for prayer and blessings

In a heartwarming family gathering in Meru, thoughtful grandchildren pooled funds to furnish their ageing grandmother’s home.

Nairobi entrepreneur Kami Mbaabu coordinated the idea, which was meant to create a space of comfort and joy for their beloved elder.

Move meant to unite family

Kami told TUKO.co.ke that she felt a deep-seated desire to unite the family to support their grandmother’s well-being.

She added that it was essential for them to unite as their grandmother was advancing in years.

“The idea was to spend quality time with her and enhance her living space, making it more comfortable and inviting,” she started.

This isn’t the first time the family has rallied for such a cause, as they had a similar event in 2017.

In the earlier event, they bought new seats for their grandmother, which have now been replaced with an even newer set.

“I reached out to my cousins, and we all agreed it was time to organize another event, especially with schools closed. It was the perfect opportunity for a family reunion,” Kami explained.

Family hopes to inspire others

They hired a caterer, selected gifts for their parents, aunts, and friends, and revamped their grandmother’s living space.

In addition to replacing the old furniture, they hung fresh curtains and new rods, laid down a cosy rug, and added decorative accessories to brighten the home.

"We also gifted granny new blankets to ensure her warmth and comfort," Kami shared.

The touching gesture strengthened the family's bonds and showed their respect and love for their ageing matriarch.

The family hopes that their actions will inspire others to show appreciation and care for the elders in their lives.
