Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

Sheila Indasi was too excited after she was named the winner of a Renault KWID after participating in the church raffle that she didn't tell anyone about the win for days.

"I am so happy. I am so excited. It is like a dream falling right into your hands and you do not know what to do," said Ms Indasi as quoted by SDE.

She recounted the day's events before and after she received the call that she describes as "miraculous".

She had just sent some money to her parents who live in Kakamega County with her six older siblings and was left with Sh59 on her phone. But she could not decide how to use the money.

She had heard about a raffle involving the Consolata Shrine on the radio. The church was raising funds for the construction of the Allamano Centre, a project intended to help grow the community.

The raffle promised anyone who donated a chance to win amazing prizes.

After agonizing over how to use the remaining cash, the house help settled on sending Sh50 to the church.

Two days later, she received a call from a woman who introduced herself only as Hellen, who informed her that she had won a car - a Renault KWID.
