A Chinese woman has been spotted camping along Ring Road Kilimani for several days, begging Kenyans to fundraise for her to purchase an air ticket so she can go back home.

The lady was spotted sitting on the road near Yaya Centre and was receiving donations in both cash and mobile money.
Chinese woman receives money
A report by Kenyans showed the woman who is yet to be identified had an open basket and a banner detailing her pay bill number and a Kenyan phone number.
“If you want, help her. She just asked for help. All you do is just send the money,” the other Chinese lady rallying contributors pleaded.
The lady’s counterpart claimed that the woman was in dire need of assistance because she had run bankrupt while in the country.
However, a few Kenyans were doubtful and said that she should seek help from the Chinese Embassy.
They wondered why she was pleading on the roads, yet she could quickly be repatriated.
Chinese woman’s friend defends her
But her friend defended her, insisting that they were stranded, nonetheless.
“What is wrong with a Chinese asking for money? She does not have a job? We do not have jobs. I just want to help her,” she insisted.
“But she has two expensive phones. Can you sell me one phone?” a curious onlooker asked in the background.
As the confrontation with passersby, who doubted her lamentations, escalated, the embattled Chinese woman opted instead to defend herself.
She claimed that she had no other means of help than reach out to generous and kind Kenyans.
She also clutched her phones and other property, wary that the situation might worsen as others advised her to watch out for her safety.
In another story by TUKO.co.ke, a 27-year-old woman pleaded for help after a Chinese man she got twins with left the country, leaving her stranded.
In 2015, Syengo Purity got a job with a Chinese company. Here she met a Chinese man, and they hit it off.
In 2017, the two began dating, and he indicated that he was ready to settle with Purity. The man would often go to China and come back to Kenya.
Their relationship budded well, and last year, the two decided to have a baby.
The babies came earlier, and Purity went for an emergency Cesarian Section (CS) at eight months. Before going to China, he had done shopping for babies clothes.
He had also left her some money for her to clear the hospital bills.
