“What a beautiful story of kindness!”
“Last year, 13-year-old Abraham Olagbegi found out he was born with a rare blood disorder and needed a bone marrow transplant. About a year later, he got some great news: His transplant worked, and he qualified for Make-A-Wish, an organization that helps kids with serious illnesses have their dreams come true.
Abraham wanted his wish to last a long time, and he had an idea he shared with his mom. “I remember we were coming home from one of his doctor visits, and he said, ‘Mom, I’ve thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,'” said Abraham’s mom, Miriam Olagbegi, to CBS News.
In September, Make-A-Wish helped Abraham organize a day to give out free food in Jackson, Mississippi, with donations from local businesses. Abraham said they ended up feeding about 80 people that day.
“When the homeless people got their food, some of them came back to sing to us and thank us,” he said. “It felt really good, it warmed our hearts. My parents always taught us that it’s a blessing to be a blessing.”
