Wanja Mwaura rescued Hinga from the jaws of addiction by taking him to a rehab. 

She then rallied for support from well-wishers who helped put up a business for the deceased in readiness to welcome him after his stint at the rehab.

A few weeks after he was discharged, Hinga relapsed and Wanja never gave up on him. She took him to a rehab centre along Kiambu road.

However, on Sunday evening, Wanja took to her Facebook page where she shared the sad news about Hinga's demise.

In a separate post on Monday, Wanja revealed that Hinga was doing well until March 14 when he complained of stomach ache.

"Hinga was doing fine n (sic) he did his best to remain the man we all helped him to be. On Thursday, the 14th, Hinga left home n (sic) went to visit his friends in Kayole. Upon reaching there, he called his mom n (sic) complained of a stomach-ache though not serious, he spent the night there and said he will be ok."

"On Saturday late night the problem persisted n that's when he decided to go to the hospital but by the time the mother got to him early morning yesterday, he had already passed on. I feel confused n (sic) lost and I don't know what to say or think or even where to start," she added.

Wanja's kindness towards Hinga has since warmed the hearts of many.
