The begging child began to cry after asking for money from passers-by – his reason touched people’s hearts
There are a lot of children in the world who don’t have a family, they don’t have parents to educate them and keep them on the right track, they don’t have a house to retire to for safety and sleep, they don’t go to school, meditations, they do not do sports and they support themselves from what they learn to do on the street, where there are no entourages worthy of following. That’s how these children end up stealing, taking drugs, doing bad things … because they don’t know how to do anything else. In Kenya, for example, these children are seen as the latest in society, people consider them all hooligans. But fortunately, not everyone is like that. There are also cases that deserve a chance at a normal life. The boy in this video is one of those people.
John Thuo is a kid who lives on the streets of Nairobi, he usually begged to support himself, walking among cars at traffic lights to make sure he makes some money to eat. He met a lot of people at traffic lights. People who were kind to him but also horrible people who drove him away in a bad way, like he was the last person. One day, he met a woman at a traffic light. This woman was going to change his life.
Gladys Kamande, a 32-year-old woman, was in the car that day, accompanied by a carer. She suffers from a serious lung disease and cannot breathe without an oxygen tube and generator, otherwise she could not survive. Moreover, she underwent many surgeries in her life, one of which resulted in complications that led to blindness. Curious, typical of a child his age, John asked Gladys why she was surrounded by so many devices, and the woman began to explain that she could not survive without them.
As Gladys explained to John, he felt luckier and luckier. He thought that even if he did not have a house or clean clothes, he could still walk on his own feet and did not depend on any appliance. John offered to give Gladys the little change he had obtained that day from begging. He wanted to help the poor woman somehow, and she was deeply impressed by his initiative and the kindness he showed. Another passer-by captured the entire moment and stopped and photographed him crying, holding Gladys by the hand and praying to God to heal her.
The story with the photo of the two went viral and people everywhere started raising money to help raise funds for Gladys’ operation. It sounds incredible, but in less than a week more than 3 million shillings were collected for Gladys, but it was still not enough. We continue with the good news and tell you that Gladys has taken John into her care and is going to enroll him in school. He sees Gladys as a mother and loves her very much for the kindness she showed towards him. Big thumbs up for John, such a wonderful heart he has!
