A few weeks ago, an X video circulated showing Auntie Agyeiwaa, the mother and her 11-year-old son, Angel, living in a dilapidated mud house. The structure, visibly unsafe, raised immediate concern among social media users.
Further reports indicated that the mother had been battling a stroke for some time, leaving her bedridden and dependent on her young son, who was forced to work after school to provide for both of them. The story touched the hearts of many, prompting Kobby Kyei to launch a fundraising campaign to improve their living conditions.
Joining the campaign was Nsemsisi TV, whose team worked alongside the socialite to gather donations from followers and fans. Their combined efforts aimed to give the family a safer, more comfortable home and restore dignity to their daily life.
As of the latest update, the family’s former mud house with exposed iron rods and unstable clay walls has been transformed into a new-looking two-bedroom self-contained home with proper decoration and finishing touches. The upgrade has sparked joy among contributors and social media supporters.
In a statement, Kobby Kyei said:
"Together with my brothers at Nsemsisi TV, we’re excited to share that we’re in the final stages of completing a 2-bedroom self-contained home for Auntie Agyeiwaa and her son, Angel. The moment of handing over is almost here, and we couldn’t be more grateful. A heartfelt thank you to Nsemsisi TV and everyone who contributed to making this project a reality. Your generosity is truly changing lives. This is what social media should be about coming together to make a real difference in the world."
The story continues to inspire others to take action and extend support to families facing similar hardships, proving that collective effort can transform lives in meaningful ways.
