Nairobi, Kenya – Popular TikToker Mama Gift Gathoge has confirmed that she will soon be travelling back to Kenya after spending several weeks in India, where her child, Baby Gift, underwent specialised medical treatment.
In an update shared on her TikTok page on Saturday, January 31, 2026, Mama Gift asked her fans to send her travel mercies as she prepares for the journey home.
“Coming back soon. Safe flights wishes in advance,” she wrote.
Baby Gift’s Recovery
The announcement comes just days after Mama Gift revealed that Baby Gift had made significant progress, now able to breathe independently without the aid of an air pipe.
In an earlier post on January 22, 2026, she expressed immense gratitude to God, describing her son’s recovery as nothing short of a miracle.
“From oxygen dependent to breathing on his own, God has given another chance, truly,” she wrote.
On January 30, 2026, she reflected on the suffering she endured during her child’s illness and extended heartfelt thanks to all who supported her in seeking treatment.
“No words can express my gratitude towards this doing. Lord, I am always grateful,” she shared.
Faith and Encouragement
Mama Gift has consistently encouraged her followers to embrace prayer and faith, insisting that faith is the key to answered prayers.
“Pray and have faith that one day things will work out,” she advised.
Backlash and Criticism
Her journey has not been without challenges. In December 2025, she faced criticism from a fellow TikToker who accused her of repeatedly disturbing people online by requesting donations for her son’s treatment.
In response, Mama Gift turned to prayer, asking God for strength and healing for Baby Gift.
“God, I ask for just one miracle: heal my son for the glory of Your name. Let those who mock me face the consequences, as in the stories of Peninah and Hanna. We are in and out of hospitals almost every day. Please, God, help me. If you are healthy and have healthy children, always thank God and never mock anyone who is struggling,” she wrote.
The critic, identified as @lucykirika, questioned why Mama Gift continued to appeal for donations, suggesting her repeated posts were burdensome.
Conclusion
Despite the backlash, Mama Gift’s story has resonated with many, highlighting both the struggles of seeking medical care and the power of faith and community support. As she prepares to return to Kenya with Baby Gift, her journey stands as a testament to resilience, hope, and gratitude.
