Avril and Kendi visited Marya at the hospital, and Avril later shared a photo of the ailing artiste.

Marya was on a hospital bed, and she flashed a smile for the camera and a peace sign.

"Hey fam. @officialkendikenya and I went to lift Marya?s @official_maryakenya spirits while she?s in hospital. With her permission we took this photo and we are allowed to share," Avril said.

Avril revealed that Marya had suffered a stroke and had been in hospital for a while, and would be discharged soon.

The mother of one revealed that once discharged, she would require assistance to regain the abilities that allow her to move and control her muscles to perform tasks, such as walking or writing.

She is paralysed on one side of her entire body, and the financial aid would work towards setting up a wheelchair, a mattress, among other things.

"She?s been in hospital for a little while after suffering a stroke and will hopefully be discharged soon. But she will unfortunately require a lot of home care as she regains all her motor skills as she is paralysed on one side of her entire body. She needs our help to set up a care space at her home; hospital bed, wheelchair, ripple mattress, bed liners and much more."

Avril also shared a phone number to which Kenyans could wire their financial assistance.

She also requested fans to pray for Marya.

"I?m humbly requesting for your prayers and a contribution to the phone number 0723207376 (Lilian Miring'u) to help towards her home care and physiotherapy. Whatever you can share will go a long way. Much love thank you," Avril added.
