“God Has a Bigger Purpose for Me”: Victor Waweru, a Kenyan teenager in Fredrick Maryland, is being hailed as a walking miracle after surviving a horrific car crash on June 4, 2025 — an accident so severe that he had to be airlifted to a shock and trauma hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States.
The accident occurred when Victor’s car rolled five times before violently slamming into an electric line pole — the only thing that stopped the vehicle from rolling further. He credits one simple action for saving his life: Wearing his seatbelt.

The accident left Victor in critical condition, non-verbal, and dependent on both a breathing tube and a feeding tube. His family was devastated, unsure if he would ever speak, walk, or live a normal life again.
Doctors had to perform emergency surgery, including drilling into his skull to relieve life-threatening pressure caused by swelling in his brain. The procedure, though risky, was necessary to save his life.
“God has a bigger purpose for me,” Victor later said. “I was supposed to leave this earth, but He kept me here for a reason.”
Victor’s family, shaken but grateful, stayed by his side throughout the ordeal. “Seeing him lying there, silent, with all those tubes — it broke us,” a family member shared. “But we never gave up praying.”
Against all odds, Victor began showing signs of improvement. Slowly, he regained his ability to communicate. Today, though still on the road to full recovery, he is speaking again and making incredible progress — a journey that has touched the hearts of many.

His survival has inspired an outpouring of support from both his local community and the Kenyan Diaspora in general. Many say his story is a powerful reminder of hope, faith, and the fragility of life.
“Every day is a gift now,” Victor says. “I don’t know exactly why I was spared, but I’m going to live my life with purpose.”
Victor’s story serves as a powerful reminder of how fragile — and precious — life is, and how a simple decision like buckling up can mean the difference between life and death.
In the wake of the accident, Victor’s parents, Jane and William Waweru Mbogo of Fredrick Maryland have had to take time off work to care for him full-time.
These few weeks without income have severely depleted the family’s finances, and they are now struggling to cover mounting medical and daily living expenses.
Victor’s family is humbly asking for any financial assistance to help them through this difficult period. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference.
