Victor Ambula drove his wife to the hospital, excited to welcome their bundle of joy. Their hearts brimmed with happiness and anticipation.

But that joy quickly turned to heartbreak — Zipporah died from excessive bleeding (post-partum haemorrhage – PPH) while giving birth.

It was October 25, 2023 — the day Victor’s life changed forever. Now, he was left cradling a newborn in his arms, while also caring for their two sons, aged 11 and 8.
