The chaotic Gen Z memorial protests held on Wednesday, June 25, not only claimed lives but also destroyed businesses.

Businessmen and women have felt the pain directly, and their families have also been affected indirectly.

One young girl showed she was not unaware of the discouragement and pain her family was experiencing after the protests.

Lacking the courage to face her parents and express her sympathy verbally, she chose instead to pen an encouraging note.

"A letter written by a Grade 2 pupil to her parents to give them hope after their business was looted during maandamano," read the caption.

The little girl wrote a heartfelt letter on a piece of paper to show her sympathy.

With just a pencil and paper, the thoughtful girl gave her parents a message of hope, reassuring them that everything would be okay despite their loss.

"Sorry dad and mum. The maandamano was very bad. Sorry a lot for your shop. I know you feel very bad because your things were stolen, and you feel bad for that," part of the consoling letter read.

She also mentioned that the shop door had been broken during the looting and continued to encourage her parents after the unfortunate incident.

She reminded them that Jesus would make their dreams come true because He loved them, just as they loved their children.

"I am so sad for your shop. You will make money. Sorry for disturbing you," she concluded, drawing two hearts on the note.

The note went viral online, attracting numerous comments from social media users who shared their reactions in the comment section:

Joyce Maina:

"Wooi, this affects everyone."

Eunice Msoo Ndung'u:

"Genuine love."

Mwihaki Kinyanjui:

"Waaa... I've cried."

Chesang Rachael:

"Oh, so sad."

In another story, a businesswoman at Nairobi's Bus Station was left emotional after goons looted her business during the June 25 protests.

Yvonne Atieno was inconsolable after losing business stock worth around KSh 2 million on that fateful day.

She painfully recalled receiving the heartbreaking news early that morning while at home in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado County.

One of her friends phoned her to deliver the devastating update about the shops near the Bus Station.

She watched helplessly on her CCTV camera as her business was being vandalised and looted by goons.

Atieno left her house immediately and rushed to town, hoping she would be able to salvage something.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she made her way to the Bus Station, questions flooding her mind — her business was her only source of income.

Along the way, she encountered several police officers who questioned where she was headed on such a chaotic day.

With tears in her eyes, she explained her situation and pleaded with them to let her through.
