"In 2021, I came back, signed another contract and left for Qatar for three years. I finished my contract and came back last year in September,"she shared.
Njeri's first salary was KSh 18,000 (N163,503.26), and that is what she used to take care of her kids back in Kenya.
She left them in her house, and according to the devoted mother of two, the older one was very obedient to her.
Njeri saved money in 2 banks, Sacco and Mshwari
"I took the younger one to boarding school; I knew the firstborn was a polite guy, and he would manage. They did everything on their own, including school visits and circumcision," said the proud mum.
According to Njeri, she has never had cruel bosses, so she really worked hard and sacrificed to fend for her family.
"Since I was tired, I told myself that this would be the last time, and so I saved very well. My son told me he would go to the Gulf so that I could to relax back at home," said Njeri.
Sadly, that is the son who took her money. The dedicated mum said she used to send her money to the bank, and he would pay tithe, rent and give some to their mum.
Njeri also used to save money in banks (KSh 20,000), Waumini Sacco (KSh 10,000) and Mshwari. The latter was to be used for enjoying herself once she came back.
Njeri got N908k salary
"He never kept any of that money, I asked him how come I never get any alerts? He took me in circles but the suspicious mum maintained that she wanted to know why she wasn't getting the alerts," she said.
"I used to be paid KSh 100,000 in Qatar; I would to send KSh 50,000 per month and whenever he asked for anu amounty I would gladly give it to him."
Her youngest son could not sit for his Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) exam when she returned and didn't find any money.
Her plans of buying land and building a house were also thwarted.
"He left at 4am with his phones. He had been eating money and never depositing any money in the accounts," said the devastated mum.
The poor mum was so prepared to buy land and start building a cute house. She knew she would find KSh 1.4 million (N12,716,920.56).
At Buruburu Police Station, she was told that she was the one who had been giving him the money, and hence, he did not have a case to answer there. They would only look for a missing person.
"I had pressure and just stayed in the bedroom but wasn't even feeling dirty. A woman in my church started doing therapy for me, and now I can talk about it.
According to the younger brother, Raphael had an older friend from his workplace who influenced him and would come and eat all the food she bought in bulk.
His phone is now off, and he left his job at Holy Family Basillica, which used to pay him well.
"I am now a beggar; I don't have food nor rent. You will will find me in the streets in Donholm. My mum was looking upon me and I was also educating my sister's school fees," said the fomer housekeeper.
"I wanted to curse him but my priest told me to wait and hear from him. I am very bitter with him. Raphael you know Iam a single mum and decided not to marry because of you. I took you to the best schools, dug ditches so that you could get a good education. If you don't come out of hiding, you won't have a good life ; you have killed me," said the sad mum.
Njeri now wants to return abroad and her boss is willing to take her back.
