Edu man. I don't know where to start. He is a smart guy. He is learned and comprehends issues so well! Anyway, we managed to find his relatives in Nairobi. I cannot disclose the location for his mental wellbeing. The sister was in tears when she saw him
He has a place to stay for now. He can clean up and have a change of clothes. That was our first priority. We are in talks with car yard owners and garage owners for jobs and opportunities. We're scheduling a few meetings
There a dentist by the name Kinyanjui who has offered to carry out a free dental procedure on him. (God bless you Kinyanjui). As you probably saw, he doesn't have his front teeth. He wants to get that sorted chap chap.
I am avoiding taking any money from the public (mostly because of social media politics). I am only letting my family, close friends and colleagues contribute. Thank You to all that have sent something small.
He also does not want to be given 'free' money at the moment. We have agreed that he works. He keeps his mind engaged and earns a living through work. It is better for him that way.
I am also trying to find a psychologist/psychiatrist/counselor who can see him consistently for free. There is one lead. But I do not mind anyone coming forward to help with this as long as it's roho safi. There is a big mental battle ahead
He needs to fit into society. And he needs to be strong enough to not go back to the streets or to use.
He has a phone now and a number but he has requested that I do not give it out for now. There are other people who wanted to contact him, I will try to call all of you this weekend.
For clothes, he is a large for shirts. Size 34 waist. Length 33/34. (Forgot to ask about shoes. Lol). But you can DM me I will contact you and know how to collect them.
He requested to stay away from media at least until he settles. For any brand endorsements, he can do it when he is ready! As long as he is protected legally which our firm will do for free.
When he is good kabisa (Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually) perhaps we can get someone to set him up with the socials.
He has a very moving story and he will share it soon. Thank You to everyone who reached out or wished him well. God bless y'all!

I have interacted with Edu for a few months now. He lives in the streets and we occasionally talk about cars He is extremely enthusiastic about performance cars. I'll thread a video of him just talking. See the last video in the thread for more info.
