13-year-old Abraham Olagbegi was born with a rare blood disease in Jackson, Mississippi and needed a bone marrow transplant(骨髓移植). His transplant was successful, and he qualified for Make-A-Wish—an organization that realizes wishes for children with serious illnesses. Abraham decided he wanted a long-lasting wish.
“I remember we were coming home from one of his doctor appointments(预约) and he said, ‘Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless’,” Abraham’s mom, Miriam Olagbegi, said. So, that’s what he did.
In September, Make-A-Wish helped Abraham organize a day to hand out free food in Jackson, Mississippi. “When the homeless people get the plate, some of them would come back and sing to us and thank us,” he said. “And it just really feels good, it warms our hearts. And my parents always taught us that it’s a blessing(祝福) to be a blessing.”
But Abraham’s wish is still not realized. Make-A-Wish will help Abraham feed the homeless once a month for one year. After Make-A-Wish finishes his wish in August 2022, Abraham plans to continue helping the homeless. He wants to turn this effort into a nonprofit(非营利组织)—one he’s already named “Abraham’s Table.”
