I will like to thank you for taking the time to read this post, this is the story of DEPO , Depo is 10years old , he's homeless living on the street of Lagos ,Nigeria. He lost his mother at birth, he has since then been living with his uncle who work as a security guard.
Depo lost the only person who have been caring for him two months ago and since then he has taken to the street to make a living for himself. According to depo he involve himself in different form of labour from lifting luggage for people from one location to another in return for 50 Naira cash which's not up to 50cents in u.s currency.
I and my friends stabled on him after a friend of main ate and threw the food pack into the dumpster outside the "food joint" where we ate, we watched depo ruched out of now where to quickly collect the food pack. At first we thought he wanted to eat the left overs just as it might seem in the pictures while he was in action we watched him patiently waiting to see what he was up to while we take pictures. ( To tell a story of cause)
But to our amusement he was collecting more then one pack , so then we walked up to him to know why he was collecting them, so he told us he's selling them for recycling. I literally had goosebumps for the young man hustle. So then we asked him why he was doing that, what about his parents, he was suppose to be in school because it was during school hours. He told us his story and i felt sad. I wish i could fiance the young man to school but i lack the funds. I donated the change i had on me to him.
It's over 48hrs now and i have been thinking of a way to help this young man, finally a thought came up on my mind to write a story on steemit here and maybe some way ,some how i can raise the funds that will help this young man to school. I have never done this fund raising thing before but i am positive and i want to challenge you reading this right now.
