She inquired whether I had eaten before we said goodbye to each other.” He said Hellen had been the family’s “bread winner” after her dad and had moved to Canada three years prior. “Hellen was the breadwinner back home for her family. She’s been supporting them and it’s left a big gap,” he said, adding she hadn’t been home since she left in 2019. Hellen’s family – who are now trying to raise funds to bring her body back to Kenya – said their daughter was sharing an apartment in Toronto with her little brother while she studied nursing and worked part-time. Her brother Enock said his “heart sunk when I heard the news of her untimely demise”. Her dad Kiyondi said: “Our lamp has been put [out]. She is the one who was supporting the family by paying school fees for the other siblings and it’s tragic” He added: “I’m stuck now and back to square one. I’m wondering how her younger siblings will continue schooling.” The family has dismissed claims Hellen had planned her death after a conversation wit friends emerged in which she suggested she might “die this year”. “I will always be here. Even if I die this year, I don’t know whether you will come and take my body,” she said jokingly in one of her videos. He said he only found out about Hellen’s death after receiving a text from one of his daughter’s friends. Hellen had been rushed to hospital on Thursday but several attempts to revive her failed. The 24-year-old health care hopped was in and out of the pool that fateful day to check her phone as she live-streamed her dip. The video showed her swimming carefree and holding her breath under water for several seconds as part of breathing exercises. Moments later, she was seen struggling for air and was heard making loud whaling sounds while kicking and waving her arms for two minutes before falling silent. The livestream kept recording for the entire three hours until she was found. The Nyabuto family have set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds to repatriate her body. On the page, Enock described his sister as “full of life”. He said she had “a warm smile and a charming heart” and anyone who met her “had their spirits lifted”. “She was passionate about her work and she touched many hearts,” he said. A friend said Hellen was “was the kind of person that you would talk to and share”.
