             I never touched or controlled the funds. Not even a shilling.

             Iβm also hurt by this, because I trusted with good faith too and I travelled all the way from Malindi to cook for the kids and Elderly. Give back to society.

             for us to use "Sharing Love At Usikimye" I didn't want it to have my name since we are all participating not me alone.

             why did we or i let her use her personal paybill account she went to the bank and she kept on giving us updates asking us the name of the initiative to be called we all kept on giving her ideas she said Equity are refusing we need to have business certificates from Usikimye

             I share this so everyone sees clearly what happened. I take responsibility for delegating without deeper checks. But my intention was never to put this initiative at risk , only to make sure things were organized while I balanced work.

             Sadly in the morning woke up at 4:30 am to prepare myself to go to Usikimye as planned and be on time. Called her she picked she was still sleeping i asked her "are we not going mbona umelala" she was just murmuring. Then she later sent me that message.

             groceries and the meat and chicken was already pre ordered by her they were to arrive Saturday morning. by 7am we start cooking.

             She also sent me Ksh 1,000 for transport for us to go to Usikimye and back to town, saying her phone battery was low. That whole Friday she avoided paying for anything else, saying her phone was off. We had agreed that on Saturday morning weβd be at the market by 6 a.m. to buy

             She shared updates regularly, and up until Tuesday she reported we had Ksh 119,000, later adding weβd received Ksh 16,000 for sanitary pads. On Friday, after I returned from Malindi, two group members went to buy dry goods. She directly sent Ksh 8,900 to the shop.

             How the treasurer was chosen I asked in the group if anyone in Nairobi was willing to handle finances. My only condition was that the person should be transparent, accountable, and give daily updates on funds received. Thatβs where I went wrong asking openly instead of verifying

             Why I didnβt handle the account myself I would have preferred to, but at the time I had just started a 20-day private chef gig. Running the account, serving clients, and giving full attention to both would have been impossible.

             Why we didnβt use the Usikimye PayBill The Usikimye PayBill already had ongoing funds and a significant balance. It would have been hard to separate those funds from our own contributions for this specific initiative. Thatβs why we agreed to open a different account for
