“Hey guys, so a lot of you don’t know me but I’m here requesting your help today. My father’s name is John Serut and he’s been unwell for a while now. He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in January of 2020. Since then, we’ve had medical bills totalling Sh20 million,” Mitchelle wrote on October 12, 2021.
However, Mitchelle went on and told The standard that they used to spend so much money on medical bills. She further added that she grew up in a wealthy family and could not imagine that one day she would appeal for public help.
His bills were going up to 20 million Kenyan shillings. This made his daughter ask for help from well-wishers.
