Kenyan digital creator Valerry Odundo, popularly known online as Val, has made an emotional appeal to fans and well-wishers for financial support following the sudden death of her mother.
The content creator, who has built a strong social media following through her online content and personality-driven posts, shared the heartbreaking news with followers, triggering an outpouring of sympathy and support from fans and fellow creators.
Val revealed that her mother passed away on May 14, 2026, only days after the family had celebrated Mother’s Day together.
The news spread rapidly across social media platforms, where many users expressed shock and extended their condolences to the grieving creator and her family.
According to information shared through her online updates, Val described her mother’s passing as sudden and explained that the family is currently facing financial challenges as they prepare for burial arrangements.
In emotional messages and videos shared online, the creator openly appealed for help, stating that the family needed support to give her late mother a dignified send-off.
The appeal quickly gained momentum, drawing attention from supporters who began resharing the message across social media platforms in an effort to reach more potential well-wishers.
Friends, followers and fellow digital creators also joined the campaign by encouraging people to contribute and stand with Val during one of the most difficult moments in her life.
As messages of support continued pouring in, the response reportedly became larger than initially anticipated.
Reports indicate that the original support group established to coordinate assistance quickly reached its member capacity due to the overwhelming number of people attempting to join and offer support.
As a result, Val reportedly introduced a dedicated WhatsApp Channel aimed at sharing funeral updates and helping coordinate contributions from those wishing to assist the family.
The move allowed supporters to continue receiving updates while also creating a more organized platform for communication regarding burial plans and fundraising efforts.
While the exact financial target for Val’s fundraising efforts has not been publicly confirmed, supporters continue to circulate her messages and updates in hopes of helping the family meet its needs.
