Despite battling multiple chronic conditions, her passing has not brought the peace her family hoped for, as her body remains at the morgue due to outstanding mortuary bills.
Mama Milcah had been living with Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, and hypertension, conditions that steadily weakened her over time.
According to people close to her, her situation worsened in recent months as she struggled to access basic needs such as food, medication, and stable housing. At one point, she faced eviction over unpaid rent, further deepening her vulnerability.
Those who knew her describe a woman who endured quiet suffering, often relying on the goodwill of neighbours and well-wishers.
Her family situation added to her difficulties, with limited financial capacity and strained support systems leaving her largely on her own.
Her death, though expected by some due to her declining health, has now opened a new painful chapter. The family is unable to raise funds required to clear mortuary fees and arrange a proper burial. As a result, her body remains at the morgue, awaiting intervention from well-wishers.
Community members have begun appealing for assistance, hoping that contributions will help give Mama Milcah a dignified send-off.
For many in the area, her story has become a reflection of the struggles faced by elderly citizens living without adequate support.
As the family waits, they are holding onto the hope that compassion from the public will ensure she is finally laid to rest with dignity, ending a life marked by hardship with a moment of respect and pain.
