13-year-old uses his "Make A Wish" gift to feed his city's homeless for a year

[quote] When Adeola “Abraham” Olagbegi discovered his bone marrow transplant was successful, he was granted any wish of his choice.

But the 13-year-old’s wish was not a trip across the world or the newest gaming console. Instead, he chose to feed homeless people in his hometown of Jackson, Mississippi, for a year. [/quote]

[quote]“I am a person of hope, so when you come against a big mountain, you have to remember you have a big God,” Abraham told CNN affiliate WLBT. [/quote]

[quote]Make-A-Wish Mississippi, which grants wishes to children and teens ages 2-18 who are often battling devastating illnesses, made his wish come true, bringing to life Abraham’s Table, a service that provides meals to the homeless every third Saturday. [/quote]


The Psalm reference at the bottom of the image is Psalm 34: 8 :

[quote]Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. [/quote]

This all happened back in 2021-22.

How absolutely wonderful! Feeding people who can't feed themselves is one of my present hobbies. but to see that level of unselfish caring in child of 13 is absolutely awe inspiring!
