Milly Wa Doc’s family has set a date for her burial and is calling on Kenyans to assist in raising KSh 2.5 million to give her a dignified farewell. The funds are intended not just for burial arrangements, but also to purchase a small piece of land where Milly can be laid to rest, and which will later serve as a home for her children. The family has also created a paybill number to facilitate contributions from well-wishers and supporters.
In a TikTok livestream, Milly’s 21-year-old son Brian, her firstborn, addressed the public with an update. Surrounded by close family and friends, he explained that they had come together to make burial plans and were seeking support from the online community. Milly’s brother, Sleek, also emphasized that the KSh 2.5 million budget is still tentative and subject to adjustments based on the amount of funds raised. He mentioned that they were open to feedback and suggestions from the public, highlighting their transparency in the process.
The proposed budget has drawn mixed reactions online, with some Kenyans expressing surprise at the amount. In response, one of Milly’s close friends clarified that the budget includes the cost of buying land. This piece of land would not only serve as Milly’s final resting place but also provide a permanent home for her children, Brian and Sheila. It was also shared that Brian has been officially listed as the next of kin.
The family announced that the burial will take place on Friday, June 13. The preparations have been marked by emotional appeals and livestreamed sessions where the family continues to engage with the public, thanking those who have already contributed and encouraging more people to come forward.
Milly Wa Doc, who had been a beloved figure on TikTok, passed away due to complications related to kidney failure following a medical procedure. She was a mother of two—Brian, who is now 21, and Sheila, her 15-year-old daughter who is still in school. Milly had previously spoken openly about her family. She shared that Brian’s father died when he was very young, and she later got married to a German man, with whom she had Sheila.
Despite the family’s efforts to honor Milly with a respectful send-off, a video clip from her past has resurfaced and stirred debate. In it, Milly expressed that she wanted to be cremated, requested that any money raised after her death be donated to charity, and expressed concerns about trusting her family with such matters. This revelation has caused hesitation among some people who would otherwise have contributed to the cause.
Nonetheless, several TikTok personalities have come forward to support the family, hosting fundraising livestreams and encouraging the community to come together during this difficult time. The goal remains to honor Milly’s life and ensure her children are well cared for after her passing.
