"Her brother's wife bathes her and whenever it rains, her brother carries her to a rescue centre because her house floods, causing her discomfort," he told a trusted Kenyan news media Tuko.co.ke in an interview today, May 31.
Rallied other well-wishers
Odhiambo was moved by their plight and rallied other well-wishers to build a decent house for the 36-year-old woman.
"Despite my body weakness, the Lord is still my strength. Jane Anyango who has been paralysed and sleeping in a kennel(dog house) has received a new house and beddings," said the philathropist.
"She is happy, and the brother is very happy. He also sleeps on the floor and we are planning to build him a house as well," said Odhiambo.
The family still needs solar light
He was also very emphatic that the family still needs solar light, clothes and food.
"To all the good-hearted friends, Facebook friends thanks guys for the amazing way you have transformed her life," he said.

Old woman who lived in a mud house built a new house
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that an old woman who had lived in a mud house for many years was built a new house.
Community leaders in Mamuhohi Village in Venda, South Africa introduced the 67-year-old to entrepreneur and philanthropist, Collen for the first time in August 2018.
It was during this time that he was briefed about her circumstances, living conditions, and assessed the state of the mud house she was living in. His foundation committed to come back and assist.
The foundation kept its word and the elderly lady is currently living comfortably in her new 2-bedroom home which is one of the best-looking houses in the community.
