Karangu Muraya issues update after visiting Mama Gift in India
By Valerian Khakayi, December 26, 2025Gospel artiste and philanthropist Karangu Muraya has shared an emotional update after visiting embu based TikToker Purity Mugambi, alias Mama Gift, and her ailing baby in India, where the child is currently receiving treatment.
In a statement shared on his official Facebook account on Friday, December 26, 2025, Muraya revealed that he had visited the family at the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), where the baby is admitted.
He noted that the child’s condition was worrying, describing the situation as difficult.
“My final post for Baby Gift…I have visited them this afternoon, where they are admitted at PICU, and the baby is not in good condition.” Muraya wrote.
Appealing to fellow parents and well-wishers, he called on Kenyans to keep the child in their prayers.
“All what I can request you all as a parent, let’s pray for this innocent soul….. God bless you all, May God heal baby Gift,” he added.
Baby Gift’s financial support
Maraya’s update comes amid heightened public attention surrounding Baby Gift’s medical journey and controversies after Kenyans expressed anger upon learning that Mama Gift had used Google Photos to solicit additional financial help.
During a TikTok live session, it was revealed that Mama Gift, who is currently in India with her son Gift as he undergoes treatment, had used photos downloaded directly from Google to convince netizens to contribute more money.
She has since deleted the downloaded photos.
Kenyans had contributed Ksh 1.1 million after she shared the photos while in India.
“Thank you, TikTok and FB friends, for the Ksh 1.1 million support for baby Gift’s treatment. I am much humbled and thankful alot. Be blessed all and never lack. I cannot mention you all by your names, but from the depths of my heart, nimeshukuru sana,” Mama Gift wrote after Kenyans contributed additional money towards Gift’s treatment.
Gift’s treatment in India
In a TikTok livestream on Monday, December 15, 2025, Mama Gift updated her followers while onboard an aeroplane at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, saying they were set to take off at any moment.
“So guys, as you can see, we have already boarded, and everything is okay. We are settled inside the plane and are now just waiting to depart. Even Baby Gift is seated here next to me,” she said happily.
She explained that, unlike previous attempts, the airline staff did not turn them away because of her son’s medical condition, adding that one of the staff members was assisting in connecting him to an oxygen tube to help with his breathing.
“Baby Gift is right there, and someone is helping to connect his oxygen tubes now. We have finally travelled out for treatment,” she said.
