Man Who Relocated With His Mum To The US 17 Years Ago, Appreciates All Her Sacrifices On Her Birthday

A young man named Kodi Agbasi has gone down memory lane of when his family relocated to the US 17 years ago. He migrated with his mum and brother.

Kodi who’s mum is celebrating her birthday used the opportunity to apreciate her for the sacrifices she made for them. Says she gave them the willpower, and that’s all they needed.

This past week was my moms birthday…

17 years ago, my brothers and I came with her to the US from Nigeria. Like many other immigrants, hoping to achieve a dream and find a better life.

She knew nothing about America, but she persisted, hustled ,and sacrificed herself relentlessly to make sure we got through school and stayed out of trouble.

We relied on family and friends to help us through college, we didnt have the funds to eat out, travel, drive freely, or even have cellphones like everyone else who wondered why I used an iPod to text(story for another day lol).

We may not have had much, but she gave us willpower, and that’s all we needed.

I’m not perfect now, but I’m 200 % better than I used to be and that’s because of her.

Wouldn’t be who or where I am without her, so Happy Birthday to her and s/o to all the single moms who sacrifice everyday to give their children a better life 🙌🏾
