If I had a million dollars, I would spend it on the Children and Orphanage Home.
Yes.... I would do exactly that.
I have tried to imagine what life would be without my parents, and believe me, I don't think the world would even be easy without them; like I grew up to this level, I am with the full support of my intentional parents. While I was in school, they took care of basically all my needs which I don't take for granted. But then, some children don't have this kind of opportunity, children whose parents are dead or have been abandoned, and they are left to walk in this cruel world alone.
I have once talked about how a mother died immediately after giving birth to a child, and the father of the child ran away from his responsibilities, so in that case, who would take care of the baby when no relatives even showed up, the child will have to choice than to start living a hard life at an infant age.
I have also gone for an evangelism with a group of people, we stopped by an uncompleted building when we noticed that there might be people there because of the clothes hung outside. We quietly went inside, walked to the background, and found a mother with 2 children eating Eba(garri/starch) with palm oil. They were even giving God thanks. When we went there, our hearts were so broken that we had to do what we could to help at that moment.
I have heard plenty of stories from my visitations to the orphanage and children's hospital, but too many words won't make it better.
My heart bleeds, and I have been telling myself if I had enough money now, I would open an orphanage home and care for children, go to the children's hospital,l, and settle some bills for them.
I have seen and heard things, and I wouldn't just want to go into too much detail again, but this has always been one of my dreams... Taking care of children and helping out in areas they find wanting.
Children are special gifts and should be treated specially with care because they hold a lot of blessings, so take care of every child around you.
Thank you so much for reading.
P.S.: All photos were taken on my visit to the orphanage and other places where children could be found.
This is my entry for Thoughtful Thursday prompt #22
This is so sweet of you. Wanting to help children. They are innocents and they deserve everything good. Not the cruelness that I being thrown their way.
