Kenyan actress and content creator Nyce Wanjeri has opened up about one of the most difficult moments in her life after losing all her belongings due to rent arrears and a subsequent auction. Together with her husband, Leting Kipkemboi, she described the experience as an emotional and life-changing ordeal that tested their strength as a family.
A Family Tested by Hardship
The couple revealed that in August, they fell behind on rent payments for about two to three months, which eventually led to their possessions being taken away. Nyce recalled the day of the auction as one of the darkest in their lives — watching their home being emptied of everything they had worked so hard for.
“It was the lowest point of our lives,” Nyce shared, expressing the pain of witnessing their home stripped bare. The emotional toll extended beyond material loss, affecting their sense of stability and security as a family.
To make matters worse, their daughter was unable to return to school due to unpaid fees, deepening the family’s challenges. Despite the hardships, Nyce said the experience taught them valuable lessons about faith, humility, and resilience.
Acts of Loyalty and Kindness
One of the most moving parts of Nyce’s account was about their househelp, who remained by their side even after going three months without pay. Nyce expressed immense gratitude for her loyalty, saying, “She stayed when we had nothing — that’s something I will never forget.”
The actress also reflected on how the ordeal revealed the true character of people around them. Some friends distanced themselves, while others showed genuine support and compassion without judgment.
Strength in Vulnerability
Nyce said she chose to share her story publicly not to seek pity, but to encourage others who might be going through similar struggles. “I shared this because I know there are people who feel like it’s the end,” she explained. “But it gets better. Don’t give up.”
Her openness has since drawn an outpouring of empathy and encouragement from fans and fellow entertainers, many praising her courage in addressing an issue often surrounded by stigma.
Rebuilding with Hope
Now focused on rebuilding their lives, Nyce and her husband say they are thankful for the kindness and support they have received. Their story serves as a reminder that even in times of loss, resilience, loyalty, and community can restore hope — and that strength often shines brightest when everything else falls apart.
