Chokoza hitmaker Marya has spoken out for the first time after suffering a stroke nearly two weeks ago. This stroke has left her paralysed on her left side.
Marya, who once allegedly worked in a brothel, posted photos showing her resting at home and spending time with her children.
One picture shows her lying on the couch; another shows her holding one of her children as her eldest son stands beside them. “My oldest son in shock,” she wrote.
What Caused Marya to Suffer a Stroke?
The stroke, was caused by a blood clot that limited oxygen flow to her brain. This left her needing daily physiotherapy and home care.
Avril, a fellow musician and friend, explained, “She suffered a stroke caused by a blood clot that limited oxygen flow to the brain.”
“She has since been discharged and is continuing her recovery at home. Physiotherapy is ongoing twice a day, and although the left side of her body is still unresponsive, we remain hopeful and encouraged by her strength.”
Her family has appealed for financial support to help cover her medical bills, therapy, and daily care. They shared the following details for donations:
- M-Pesa Paybill: 6739497
- Account: Your Name
The message on the fundraiser reads: “We remain hopeful and extremely encouraged by her strength. Every donation makes a difference as they go towards home care, physiotherapy, and everyday care. Thank you for standing with her.”
Avril also urged the public to keep Marya in their thoughts. “Please continue to support and reach out to her personally as you’re able. Every call, message, prayer, or visit goes a long way. Thank you once again for standing with her.”
Marya’s family says her recovery journey will be long, but they remain grateful for the support so far.
