On June 12, 2026, the dormitory at Utumishi Girls Academy Senior School in Gilgal, Kenya was on fire. And it is claimed that some of the students started the fire which killed 16 students, all between 15 and 18. Among those killed was Fortune Amaya Losike, aged 15 who died while trying to save some of her friends. As the fire was raging, some of the students jumped from a window, while Fortune let her friends jump ahead of her, and then when it was her turn to jump, the ceiling collapsed and buried her underneath. The priest preaching at her funeral said they recognized her body by the red and white rosary beads she had in her hands, which were intact. It is encouraging to witness such a heroic act by Fortune, because in a world consumed by egoism, her altruism saved a few other girls, and as she made the ultimate sacrifice, Fortune will always be remembered for the love she shared till the very end of her short life.
