A family in Busia County is grieving the tragic death of their daughter, Fanice Imai, who passed away while working in Saudi Arabia. The family is now appealing to the Kenyan government and well-wishers to assist them in bringing her body back home for burial.
Sadly, the young woman was laid to rest in Saudi Arabia, a situation that has left her relatives devastated and emotionally broken.
Fanice had travelled abroad in search of better job opportunities and to help improve the living standards of her family back in Kenya.
According to her father, she was a devoted and hardworking daughter who always prioritized the welfare of her loved ones. Through her efforts, she was able to construct a beautiful house for her parents in Busia County.
However, the house remained unfinished at the time of her sudden death. Her father recalled that Fanice had promised to return home and complete the construction herself.
“She told us she would come back and finish the house. That was her promise,” he said.
The heartbroken father further revealed that Fanice was the main provider for the family. He explained that she regularly supported them financially and ensured their needs were met, making her loss even more painful.
“She was everything to us. She supported the family in every way,” he said emotionally, adding that her passing has left a deep emotional and financial gap.
The grieving parent also shared that his daughter passed away after falling ill while in Saudi Arabia.
He said the family made several attempts to repatriate her body to Kenya so she could receive a proper burial, but all efforts were unsuccessful.
“We wanted to bring her home for burial, but all attempts failed,” he said sadly.
Despite the pain, the father expressed hope that one day his daughter’s body will still be returned to Kenya for burial.
“I believe one day my daughter will come back home so we can bury her here,” he said, adding that the family continues to pray and seek assistance.
