Mix people are many in many African countries. She was not left behind, she’s in her country of birth, Kenya 🇰🇪
I'm glad she has grandchildren so is not completely alone in the world. 🙏🏿
So true
Am glad too.
Glad too
Sad, but she's just like other African women
grandchildren where???? She is still trying to connect with her unknown relatives in Italy. There may be grandchildren of her father as she is already almost 80, but she has not yet connected with any of them is why she is still where she is...Watch and listen !!!
She is Kenyan, and her mom was Kenyan, so why do you guys act as if she is in a foreign land. Smh
Hapo sasa😂
I agree with you she is an African not because het skin is light she must get better treatment what about the dark skin africans they need help too she is not better than no one else everyone must get the same treatment it's as if people should worship she should struggle just like others
Exactly!!
Very good question!
Struuu
For Petes sake,Africa is not a country. Dont say she was left in Africa. She was left in Kenya.
Yes,we know that Kenya is in the Caribbean 🙄🙄
She was left on the Continent of Africa in a country called Kenya. The narrater is not wrong jn saying she was lett in Africa.
Eaaa and so what
Masa ma y3n dwene
Yep just like they do with american continent referring to it as just usa when in fact it's made of several countries
she's almost 80 and still very strong God bless her and her grand babies 🙏🏿
Because she born in Africa 🌍 that's why she very strong 💪 😊
It's her advantage being in Africa the benefits are u eat healthy food and grow old traditional food are very healthy and u don't get cancer and other health issues which kills mo white people n their country
I pray her final years are filled with joy and happiness. Amen
Prayer isn't going to help, we need a gofundme
@@Nicholas-Prince-Milverton Create one then.
@@zizi-yo u do it, I'll contribute
@@Nicholas-Prince-Milverton you brought up an idea, do it. Or reach out to the person who brought this video to our notice.
@@zizi-yo you the one saying you gonna pray for her, and I'm politely reminding you that isn't gonna do anything
She’s equally a Kenyan! Everyone is going through the same situation
Exactly what I was thinking, however, the only heartbreaking part for me from her story is the part where her father did not look back. I would still not judge him because I don’t know what has been happening with him either.
@@debbyelvis4699 yeah true that part is so wrong how can a father not love his own child? Smh 🤦🏽♀️ I hope and pray her grandkids and everyone else gets out of such horrible situation.
Vraiment !
Let's stand together and lift her from shame to fame we can make it happen
Yes
True
Yes!
Right
Keep in mind that she's not the only one at her age left to rot there .
Same thing happening globally with the elderlies
We must love, respect and care for all the elderly people. They are wise and have lived through a lot.
My heart is bleeding for her.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help.
She’s home, Kenya is where she was born, Italian father unfortunately left
Just in European nature didn't even stay for HIS child.
Mary is a true survivor with all the odds against her, she's still standing. God bless this woman, and hope she gets the help she deserves and soon. I donated, may not be much but every little bit will help her. Consider donating please!
She is a true warrior, a true shield maiden
Such a brave heart........she deserves a better place.... I pray that Our Good Lord bless her with a better place.....
🙏🙏❤❤
Every one going through hardship deserves a better place especially Africans
We are praying for you
I trust God will help you in jusses name Amen
Better than other darker skinned Kenyans hmm ?? All humans deserve better
Only Africans believe that everyone deserves better
Please take her to the Italian Embassy in Kenya. I believe they will have a better plans for her
Such a good ideea! Thank you! Maybe someone will try a to help this woman,who can yet work,and know english. We please to help her!❤
I think she would need her father's sir name.
They will do nothing for her !
So true that's a great idea someone needs 😢to tell her
How can I help?
No body deserve to suffer in her/his old age may God help you mama
I wish Italian Embassy will do something about it and help this Woman. Heartbreaking
She was born in Kenya and she's kenyan what do you want the Italy embassy to be involved? She's been in Kenya for the rest of her life, y'all just crazy, her problem of being raised by a single mother is a world problem
@@shaqdizo7678remember his father was Italian she has right to go Italy or to have support like other Italian to receive money support. Remember she was in white school back the days . Which means she was recognized like a white kids. Do think twice I have seen many mixed brought in Europe during war in Burundi and Rwanda . H see if French Italian begian
Her father is italian @@shaqdizo7678
My relative in Kericho in her early 80's - her Dad was an Italian POW and mom Kipsigis. She's married to a good family and has kids and grandkids.
@shaqdizo7678 Her father is Italian so she can get Italian citizenship. In Italy, one can even claim citizenship if their grandparents are Italian. My friend from Argentina just got his Italian citizenship, because his grandfather is Italian. You just have to make the application and to forwarded the required document.
My heart goes to you.May Our Lord Jesus grant you the love and peace you need. She is a true example of survival I have ever seen. God bless.
i cant stop crying.. your a good person at heart
Caption is very incorrect " to die in Africa" you die wherever you are not by being in Africa. America has the highest number of people who are struggling financially and can't provide for families.
Very true, by the way if she is somewhere in Europe, at that age she would be in a nursing home, dumbed and wailing in emotional loneliness.
Omg I don't wanna be rude.. but hardship in Africa is on a different grade.
I don't think the editor meant it negatively. I am not African but I gathered they meant she was abandoned and the location she was left behind in was Africa. It could also say abandoned to die in the US.
Uh there are definitely poorer countries than USA.
But there are also poor people and homeless in US, not only African have the poorest people.
She is a true mother and grand mother make her smile.
I'm 77 & have all her ailments! Wish I could help her! I live in the US & live with my daughter!😩 Sharing!
God bless your kind soul
Help me too, I can live with your daughter
Mmmh@@armiebeauty
@@shamsahaji6202 what's the problem, am serious
Please help her if you can
She’s a strong and hard working old lady, may her destiny helper locate her in Jesus name amen 🙏🏾. Much love from South Sudan 🇸🇸
Such an inspirational story and so heartfelt. I pray for the best outcome for she has endured so much, she has inspired me to continue to fight as well.
I love that she's still smiling in the face of all she's faced in life ...Shes put a big smile on my face by her resilience ...I pray she gets some headway in finding her relatives and help ..She's a beautiful soul and such an inspiration @Lynn Ngugi please get her on your show...@story za Wanjikù ..Thanks @afromax I really enjoy your authentic stories especially as people never undesirable white people can be poor in 3rd world....
Oh my Gosh she's still strong may God bless her
She's ALIVE now because of Super Blessed AFRIKAz Afrikan Black Peoples Forever*
Amen!
Exactly she's still alive and dmn near 100 years old😂
Thankyou. Ours is the green continent
African
But Kenyans have questionable morals. Why do her children and grandchildren allow a granny to cook and do house work
I pray this Beautiful suffering lady gets the help needed and for someone/ High Authorities can come to this lady's help where DNA IS NEEDED FOR HER TO FIND HER FATHER'S FAMILY and if Found they will all reach out to her with warm welcome 🙏 ❤.
I believe she deserves some kind of Peace in her old age and better health.
God all who help in any way possible 🙏.
Afrimax team wanafanya kazi ya ziada be. Blessed for helping people

Bless her, this breaks my heart. For all those suffering in our world, may the Almighty meet their needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus. God has been good to her and has never left or forsaken her. May God continue to strengthen her in Jesus Name.
May God protect her and may she live long
Ameen
Oh my God, have mercy for this woman, all these conditions. Her grandchildren need her please
She is so courages. With all the difficulties and health problems she is working hard to raise her grand children. Her smile showcase her strength. Where people fall apart in difficulties her smile and face gives a very positive message to the world. God keep her safe, happy and healthy 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Really a fighter 🙏🏻
My mother almost has the same story.
Her father ,was a french who was working in Cameroon, town called NKONGSAMBA, in a high school called" LYCEE DU MANENGOUBA". My mother was born in June,1952 and is now 72 years old.
She doesn't know her father's side.
Luckily,my mother met my father,the had 46 years of marriage before he died .
She's called " la Blanche" THE WHITE WOMAN.
At times I pity her because she doesn't know if she has a family somewhere. On her mother's side she had brothers and sisters. They have all passed away, remaining one of them.
😭 .
My mother also has diabetic and had survived colon cancer. She has a serious eye problem since the age of 19. On her mother's side no one has all that. I believe there's a history on her father's side. But how could she know?
May the Lord help all those children around the world searching for their roots.
Unfortunately this is the story of many biracial children in Africa, especially from expats because when they go back home to their families they often leave their African love child behind. So many mixed children even go to the Belgian and French embassy in DRC looking for their white fathers. It’s sad and unfair- children shouldn’t have to suffer.
Thank you for sharing. God bless your mum ❤
I ask my self everytime why can't this Italians, Chinese, Americans and French give first priority to thare own when they give scholarships in Africa because there's evidence that this are their children's?
My mum too. We are from Douala but sadly my mum had bad mariage and died in 2020 without ever knowing her father's family he was french and German
@@snaal-empire oooohh so sorry. We are from nkongsamba
I hope things get better for her and her grandchildren
May the good Lord bless this woman abundantly❤🙏
I pray that She will be able to get to meet her Family in Italy 😢.. Bless her heart.. very sad really. May GOD send a divine helpers to In JESUS CHRIST Mighty Name I Pray Amen.
The problem Italian don't travel.
Her real family is in Africa. Stop talking as if she is 100% European.
She doesn't have any details about her father.
What Italian family? A man just contributed to her making. Didn’t claim her. She’s kikuyu. This is her home. She is not white
She was an actor at central cinema..she was such a gem..may God see her through.. shalom 🙏🙏🙏
Yes I have seen her movies,I love them
Was she getting paid?
@@dcruzdcruz8288Obviously not
Really? Such a pity how things went for her 😢
What's the names of her movies
God bless you, Mary . Don't give up
I understand the hard life the lady is experiencing. I'm a 63 years old black South African. I'm not rich and I not have my own house. Fortunately for me I get pension from the government. What I can say to lady is that God knows everything about us. She must not lose hope. God bless you dear lady I hope you will find help. 🙏🙏🙏🇿🇦😭
I thought you were to say....as you have your own house and pension so you will take her in !!!! Please ? why leave everything to God ??
The lady is mixed. Not white
Obviously.. Normally one fall on the father's side..
Total agree she is mixed
Exactly
In some African countries, mixed people are called white even tho we know they are mixed. It’s just a way to say that they are lighter than everyone. I don’t know if that’s the case in Kenya.
@@salonegal4024 It's very rare for them to be called 'white' in Africa they are usually called mixed. But it also depends on how they look, some look more white others look more black, which determines how people view you. But the biggest factor is the hair texture. Because there are 100% black people can be very light skinned so its not obvious. But this woman is what some call a 'white passing' mixed person, she looks 100% European because she's so pale, and her hair.
May the Almaty be with her
Almighty God not almaty
She is strong and God will bless her through her grandchildren ❤
Oh God! Will someone help this poor woman and others who are suffering like her??
Africia, it is not her fault 😢 Italy. Please find her 🙏🏼
If she were to be in Europe, she would have died long time. Thank God she is in Africa and strong.
Sure......she could have become homeless.
It is a lie if she were in Europe she will get sociale security and free hospital ,she will have more opportunity
Very true.
Are you sure I what you are saying?. Do you know the middle age population in Europe?.
😂😂😂😂😂 please tell them,what a sin to always portray africa continent as a shithole place to live,makes me puke blood.
May God almighty make strength during this moment 💕💓 mama
I feel for this woman...i can't stop shedding tears....am a single mother and i understand her pain...i wish i wash ningekuwa na uwezo wa kumsaidia
I'm sorry for what you are going through my sister, may God bless you and live a better life
She needs to contact the Italian embassy.
But how can they help her without any documents, even her father's name she did not know. So it is very difficult. Plus she didn't start these things on time, now she is almost 80yrs they cannot do anything.
@@joyokafor2661they could do a dna if they have a database in Italy....they can check their database on the soldiers that came to Kenya if they have any and follow up with their families a dna will help her
@@joyokafor2661 there’s new technology that can match her blood genetically in the data base. In the USA it’s done easily but not sure in Italy
@@butterfly9274 let her be here. She is an old lady now. Taking her to Italy will not help at all.
She is Kenyan periods
I can't wait for her testimony ❤
She's such a wonderful n amazing humble human being. God Bless u mama, Jesus loves u. Amen
May the good Lord remember and give you a way of escape Amen
I was just crying throughout watching the vidoe God you created me to bless others I pray for your blessings that is beyond human imagination to be blessings to others 🙏
God hear from our Mother. Have Mercy
In this world you will have trouble but take heart I have overcome 🙏.Sorry for all you had to go through ❤️💕
John 6:63
Good bless her she is a real freedom fighter. May Ruto see this and help her
I know Mary can and will meet her family soon
Thank God for our beautiful continent. Africa will make you rest life and take nothing for granted. You want to learn to be resilient? Go to Africa to boost up your immune system for life's reality. May the good Lord grant her peace and give her daily bread.
Ameen
I feel so sorry for her . We all need to help
So sad. Pray that God will continue to strengthen you
God bless her and keep her ❤
Team Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 may God remember Nyokabi!
I pray that we can all come together and help her.
She is strong at her age and she has a great sense of humour.
I wish someone could help with her DNA generation. The families and relatives came from her father Italy, and her mother Kenya should have a generation somewhere in Kenya, so that would help her gather family and relatives back.
She only need support but finding her family members from paternal side could be difficult. Even the father could be able to look back for her. As well if she was taken to white school she knows his name. May be through Italian embassy in Kenya she could find her
yeah that is possible
I wish her the best. She is strong and intelligent... it would be a blessing if she could find her roots, especially for the grandchildren.God is in charge...
If someone could pay a MyHeritage DNA kit and provide it to her by posting, then she can take the swab, and one of her family members can send it. The result will show that she is half Italian, and maybe the dna-matches can lead her to her biological family on her fathers side.
Probably families in Italy are poorer than her in Kenya
A father is always an important figure
Well,not this father,happens at times.
May God help this woman may God be wth her
God loves you so much mamma and he will always be with you and protect you
I hope Mary can connect with her Italian family. The list would surely have her father's name.
But she doesn't even know his name😢😢😢
My MIL should see this maybe she will stop complaining and be grateful
Hope they will be some follow-ups to the story. The Italian embassy/ other relatives or some financial upliftment. Thanks, whoever, for raising this issue.
She lives there, everyone has a story, God bless her, she has will power
So sad not to know a parent
Very sad reality of life. I pray that God touches all of us watching this video and turn us to be the destiny helpers that she needs right now
God bless her and her family amen
Very very sad. Kindly lets help this grandma, let her feel the happiness of her life for once. May God bless her.
"She's left in Africa to struggle (Die) with harsh realities of Africa"
I'm happy She's alive
But being in Africa doesn't really mean poverty and death
Buts it's okay
If you take her to Italian embassy in Kenya they will provide better plans for her please try and do that for the God sake 🙏
It won’t be easy at her age because she will face more challenges. I think she is better off helped here, unless the Italians can help with DNA tracing to find her families. I wonder if that is a practical thing.
Does she have Kenyan identity or Italian for her to benefit from Italy?
She’s kényan
Nice story you covered, reminds of many German children born to black Namibian women. Please come to Southern Africa, there's more similar stories,,,
She's such a strong woman,may someone come through to help her
please help her she needs better conditions in the last time of her old age she seems like a sweet and nice person that she has had to live under these living conditions for all those years hurts my heart I hope she can get it help she needs both mentally and physically and that her health can be improved with the medicine she needs please help her hugs and hugs from the cold north :)
She is sweet she needs help
She was left in Kenya 🇰🇪 Africa is a continent, not a country.
She very strong woman 78 year old God bless her and help her
I admire her strength and courage.
This life she's eating plain cabbage 😢ur in my prayers
Please let us help her😢.
Watching this fills my eyes with tears. This is me.
May God intervene and comfort Mary with double blessings in Jesus mighty
Mixed race not white
Exactly 👏🏾
And she's an actress too. I used to see her on Inooro tv some years ago
Me too
Oh my how I wish the rest of your life going forward could be the happiest for you 😢😢😢
Please help and look for her family, GOD will bless you for this
Thanks!
Grace how did you send her miney
How did you do it?
I loaded money into my Google playstore app, then sent it via the credits on my playstore app
May God bless you homey 🇿🇦🙏🙏🙏

She is a true African , from the UK, she will get well and be rich.
“Why did her parents leave her to die in Africa?” In Africa do we die?
Really really good piece.❤
