On August 12, 2019, Anjlee Gadhvi shared a video on her Twitter account that gives a glimpse into her life before her untimely passing.

The video shows Anjlee explaining to her 5-year-old daughter that she has to go abroad for cancer treatment, leaving her daughter distraught with the news of being away from her mother.

As Anjlee tries to explain the situation to her daughter, the little girl tearfully says, 'Because you have to get in a machine that has to check if you're alright or not.'

Despite her daughter's efforts to help her mother, Anjlee insists that she needs to go to India for treatment, where her doctor knows how to check her chest better.

She explains to her daughter, 'Aga Khan hospital does not have those machines that can treat your momma. The doctors in India know more about momma's chest and they are going to help your momma be better and stronger.'

It's worth noting that Anjlee was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2013, but went public about it in 2015 after funds raised by family and friends got drained. After she appealed for public help, Kenyans donated over Ksh6 million in hours.
