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.

Many people assume that when we are close to death what we wish for is grand features like travel around the world / finish a bucket list / live like a billionare with all the luxurious and all the money in the world etc.
But what most people come to want is to live another regular day with their normal everyday routines and being able to see their loved ones.
It shows what really matters. What makes life a good life. It's not money. It's not exclusive experiences or expensive travels, it's love.
