Kenyan entertainer Fredrick Karumba, also known as DJ Krowbar, has disclosed that he has raised Ksh 3 million of the Ksh 6 million required for his wife's kidney transplant.

The DJ had requested assistance via social media to gather funds for his wife, Joy Wanjiru Karumba, who desperately needs a kidney transplant.

She was diagnosed with acute renal damage two years ago and has been on dialysis.

Krowbar previously stated that he cried when he initially got the news.


"It was a Sunday in April last year," I advised her to go to the hospital, and I'd stay with the kids because she wasn't feeling good. I was sent to the hospital, and when I arrived, the doctor informed me that she had kidney failure caused by high blood pressure."

"The first time aliwekwa kwa mchine nilijikaza kimwanamme lakini nikaenda choo nikakaa peke yangu nikalia, sikua naamini ni nini nimeona, juu wife alikua analia."


Joy claimed in a recent NTV interview that she and her husband were stunned when the doctor told them the news. She prayed to God for the strength to keep doing what she loves best: fashion.
