Kiptum’s parents cry for help as they mark the first anniversary of their son’s death. In a video, the parents expressed their frustration after the death of Kiptum.

“We are here as the parents of Kiptum one year after his death. We are asking where his hard money went?” they asked.

Kelvin Kiptum’s Parents Appeal for Help

Commemorating their son’s death, the marathoner’s parents placed flowers beside the grave to beautify it.

Additionally, they mentioned that they lack money to cement and build a shade for his grave.

Further, the burial place remains unattended to without being beautified.

This is not the first time that the parents have appealed for financial help, last year Kiptum’s family asked Kenyans to assist them in managing several issues, citing financial difficulties since their son’s passing.

A Mother’s Plea

The marathoner’s mother inquired about the whereabouts of his grandchildren from her son’s widow.

“I do not know where my grandchildren are, I am pleading to be reunited with my grandchildren,” she said.

According to them, Asenath Rotich left after the burial, hence they do not know about the well-being of their grandchildren.

She pleaded with her daughter-in-law to return home so that she may reunite with the children.
