Kenyan musician Marya, best known for her hit song Chokoza, is recovering at home after being discharged from hospital nearly two weeks following a stroke. Fellow singer Avril broke the news to the public, confirming that the stroke was caused by a blood clot that restricted oxygen flow to Marya’s brain.
Marya recently took to social media to give fans a glimpse into her recovery journey. She shared a photo of herself resting on her couch and another one in which she held her youngest child, while her eldest son stood beside her. In a touching caption, she wrote, “My oldest son in shock,” hinting at the emotional impact her health scare has had on her children.
Though out of immediate danger, Marya is still on a challenging path to recovery. The stroke left the left side of her body unresponsive, and she now requires twice-daily physiotherapy sessions to regain her motor skills. These vital abilities—such as walking and performing daily tasks—have been severely affected, making ongoing medical care and rehabilitation crucial.
To support Marya during this period, her family has shared a medical appeal, requesting well-wishers to assist with her medical expenses. The funds will go toward home care, physiotherapy, and daily needs as she works toward full recovery. The official PayBill number for contributions is 6739497, with the account name being Your Name.
Avril, who shared the poster on her platforms, expressed gratitude for the support Marya has already received and encouraged fans to continue showing love. “We remain hopeful and extremely encouraged by her strength. Every donation makes a difference,” the poster read.
Marya’s journey has highlighted the importance of early medical intervention and support networks in stroke recovery. Fans, fellow artists, and well-wishers across Kenya have been rallying behind her with prayers, donations, and words of encouragement as she continues to heal.
