The reaction and actions of the beggar boy created a dramatic change in the two destinies.
When everyone’s hearts are filled with love, the world will become more beautiful! That is a touching story that happened in Kenya’s capital Nairobi in Africa…
John Thuo is a boy who was abandoned by his parents when he was young. When he was young, he and his six other siblings were cared for and raised by his grandmother. Due to his family’s poor circumstances, the boy often had to wander around begging.
Every time he was wandering on the street begging and saw a red light, John would take the opportunity to run quickly to the stop at the red light, weave into the crowd of parked cars, knock on each car window, and politely ask the car owner: “Can I have some change to buy food for my belly?”
The car’s owner is a woman named Gladys Kamande, her body is covered with breathing tubes, these breathing tubes are linked to large and small machines on the car…
Since he was a child, he had never seen such a scene, so John felt curious. He asked Gladys what these tubes were for. Gladys saw the boy was very affectionate, immediately drove to the side of the road and told the boy about her current situation.
Those tubes are Gladys’s life-sustaining savior!
At the age of 32, Gladys unfortunately suffered from pneumothorax (a type of air entering the pleura causing difficulty breathing), and had undergone 12 surgeries. To continue living, she always had to carry With an oxygen tank and generator with me, life has been like this for 7 years.
Although she had heard that there was a hospital in India that could treat pneumothorax, the cost of treatment was too high, so Gladys had no way to go there for treatment.
What’s more worrying is that, after a surgery, her optic nerve was damaged, so whenever it’s dark, Gladys can’t see anything. So she can only drive out in the morning.
After hearing the honest boy John, tears continued to flow from his eyes. He thought that although his life was miserable but always healthy, it was still much luckier than Gladys’s life.
The boy asked: “What can I help you with?”
Gladys was touched by the boy’s honest heart. She grabbed John’s hand and said: “Let’s go pray together.”
After finishing praying, John gave all the money he asked for that day to Miss Gladys, because he thought Miss Gladys needed the money more.
The conversation between John and Ms. Gladys was heard by a netizen, captured and shared on the online community, and at the same time launched a fundraising activity. This story touched so many people, so in just 4 short days, 80,000 USD was raised.
The charity people wanted to divide this money equally between John and Ms. Gladys, but John insisted on not taking a penny. He wanted to give all of the money to Ms. Gladys so she could go to India for medical treatment.
Even more touching was that to thank the boy’s kindness for changing her life, Ms. Gladys offered to adopt and take care of John and give him a warm home.
John then no longer needed to wander the streets to beg, he was like many other normal children, living in a family filled with love and happiness.
