Eric Omondi rallies support for surgery
The messages of encouragement come days after comedian Eric Omondi appealed to Kenyans to stand with Natalie as she prepared for surgery related to her endometriosis battle.
Eric used his social media platforms to urge fans and well-wishers to contribute financially towards the procedure, saying Natalie had spent years creating awareness about the condition while quietly enduring immense pain herself.
The fundraiser attracted support from fellow entertainers and members of the public, with many sending donations alongside messages of hope for her recovery.
Laura Mbatha appeals for prayers.
Before Mwana’s visit, Natalie’s close friend Laura Mbatha had also asked Kenyans to keep the media personality in their prayers after she was admitted to hospital.
Laura shared updates on social media, revealing that Natalie was experiencing a difficult period in her long fight against endometriosis.
Her appeal prompted hundreds of fans and fellow celebrities to flood social media with encouraging messages, expressing hope that Natalie would recover quickly and continue her advocacy work for women living with the condition.
A long fight against endometriosis
Natalie has spoken openly over the years about living with endometriosis, a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it. The illness can cause severe pelvic pain, painful periods and, in some cases, fertility complications.
She has consistently used her platform to educate the public, explaining that the condition affects not only physical health but also emotional and mental wellbeing.
Despite recurring flare-ups and repeated hospital visits, Natalie has remained committed to raising awareness and encouraging other women to seek medical attention if they experience persistent symptoms. Her latest exchange with Mwana has once again shown the strength of the support system surrounding her as she continues her recovery.
