Despite their son’s remarkable success and wealth, Kelvin Kiptum’s parents now find themselves trapped in misery, living in poverty and abandoned promises, nine months after his tragic death. The family, once filled with hope, is now left with only heartache and a desperate cry for help.
In an emotional video, Kiptum’s father, Samson Cheruiyot, a pastor from Chepsamo village, shared their devastating reality. “We’ve reached out, but no one hears us. We’ve been ignored, blocked by those who promised to help,” he said, his voice trembling with sorrow.
Kiptum’s mother’s pain is just as deep. “We have suffered endlessly,” she said. “I cook outside, and the roof leaks. If my son could rise today, he’d have so many questions. He was our only child, and he was everything to us.”
Despite his world-shattering achievements and millions in earnings, the promises of support after his death have all but vanished. The family, once carried by Kelvin’s success, now faces a harsh, unforgiving struggle with no safety net.
“We are begging Kelvin’s friends to help us,” his father said, but their voices are silenced by powerful forces, leaving them hopeless and desperate. Their heartbreaking plea has sparked sympathy across Kenya, with many deeply moved by the family’s pain. What was once a proud family, sustained by Kelvin’s success, is now left to face a future of uncertainty and sorrow.
