Hellen Daniel, a former security guard, went viral on Friday, March 17, after she shared the transformation of her parent's mud house into a three-bedroom permanent house.

In a post on her social media, the lady indicated that she first built a round mud house for her parents while working in the security sector.

Hellen revealed that she had started planning to build her parents a house when she was young and seeking formal employment.  At some point, she worked as a house help.

She then upgraded the structure from a mud house to a semi-permanent mud one, plastered with time.

However, after securing employment, she built a brick three-bedroom house. Hellen added that her husband chipped in to make her family's dreams come true.

"A lesson, your today will never be your tomorrow if only you keep your dreams alive, you're focused, you're determined, you're a go-getter, you're persistent in prayers, and never despise your humble beginnings.

"We did a house handover to my parents, a spacious three-bedroom self-contained house. All thanks to my love for making this dream come true. With God everything is possible," she stated.

She also shared videos of the handover showcasing the big moment with their family.  

During the occasion, Hellen surprised her parents with a mini party and a cake decorated with the words 'thanks, mom and dad'.

She also furnished the house with modern living and dining room furniture.

After sharing the video of the house, Kenyans on social media were amazed by the home's transformation. A section of online users also thanked her for remembering her parents after she succeeded.

"I rarely comment on TikTok but this is truly a true definition of determination, perseverance and most importantly trusting in God. Congratulations," Edna Wanjiku commented.

"Most legitimate and inspirational video I have seen on this app. Actions, not words," Jine Kamu stated.
