Kenyan musician Marya, famously known for the hit song Chokoza, is currently in hospital after suffering a stroke. The celebrated singer, who once ruled the airwaves alongside fellow musician Avril, is now reaching out to fans and well-wishers for financial assistance as she recovers from the devastating health condition.
Marya has been hospitalised for some time and is undergoing treatment to manage the effects of the stroke. According to close friends, she is paralysed on one side of her body and will need significant support once discharged to regain her motor skills—essential for performing basic tasks like walking or writing.
Two fellow artists, Avril and Kendi, recently visited her at the hospital to boost her spirits. A photo was shared of Marya lying in her hospital bed, flashing a peace sign and smiling despite her condition. The image has since moved many fans and fellow Kenyans, with calls growing louder for assistance and prayers.
Recovery from a stroke can be both emotionally and financially draining. In Marya’s case, a comprehensive home care setup will be necessary to support her recovery. Items such as a hospital bed, wheelchair, ripple mattress, bed liners, and continued physiotherapy are among the immediate needs. With her body partially paralysed, physiotherapy will be key in helping her regain muscle control and functionality.
A phone number has been shared for those willing to contribute financially to help set up a suitable care space at home. The funds will also go towards medical follow-ups and the day-to-day support she will require in her road to recovery.
Messages of goodwill have been pouring in from fans and followers on social media. Many have expressed their shock and sadness, sending prayers and warm wishes for Marya’s quick recovery. Others have promised to make contributions, highlighting the importance of coming together to support one of Kenya’s beloved artists during her time of need.
Fans remember Marya as a vibrant and talented musician whose contributions to the Kenyan music industry left a mark. Her collaboration on Chokoza was a massive hit, especially among the younger generation at the time. Her recent health setback has been a sobering moment for many who admired her from afar.
In the past, Marya has also been subject to controversy, particularly in 2021 when she addressed rumours about her personal life. She emotionally dismissed claims that she worked in a brothel, explaining that poor judgment in choosing friends had led to misunderstandings. She emphasized that every decision she made was out of love and responsibility for her son.
Now, as she battles the aftermath of a stroke, Marya is in need of kindness, generosity, and community support. Her story serves as a reminder that behind the glitz and glamour of public figures are real people facing real struggles.
