The fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, November 15, at Sagret Hotel, Milimani, Nairobi, from 6:00 p.m.

Sharleen Wambui, a Murang'a MCA, noted that Wainaina was currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as she reiterated the financial appeal.
"Family and friends, we invite you to help us raise some funds for our brother Mark Wainaina who is currently being treated for severe pneumonia, which has caused all his vital organs to stop functioning and is currently in the ICU. Please support us," Wambui stated.
She, however, disclosed that doctors were doing their best to ensure the hospitalized MCA receives the best medical care.
"I understand the deep emotions surrounding this situation, and I want to assure you all that Mark is still fighting, and the doctors at the hospital are doing everything possible to provide him with the best care and treatment. While it’s a challenging time, please rest assured that his medical team remains dedicated and committed to his recovery," Wambui explained.
