Lady Gives Scholarship To 2 Years Old Orphan Who Lost His Mum

A compassionate lady named Funmi Suleman has shared an amazing story on her LinkedIn on how she influenced the life of an orphan who looked helpless. She wrote:

“And my boy goes to school.

We first met on the 1st of August 2019 when I went visiting the orphanage home. His eyes followed me as I walked around in the home doing my mini inspection of work (for the quarter) to be done by my friends and I.

I was told his name was Raphael and that he was just brought in because his mom recently passed on and dad couldn’t cope. He was underdeveloped, malnourished, lonely and probably confused but his bright eye spoke volumes to me.

I picked him up and he gave a slight whimper.. he had just been circumcised a day or so before so was still very sore. He couldn’t walk or talk even though we suspected he was about 2 years old because he could sit very well. I said a word of prayer over him and did a mini video of him for my friends.

I returned home and wrote my heart out about this child. Without a fuss my friends and I agreed to take up his upkeep.

We informed the home formally via the late CEO. We pooled emergency funds together, got baby food, milk and clothing together. Importantly kwashi pap which we were encouraged to feed him with exclusively for a minimum of 6 months.

The pictures you see are his growth journey from then till when he resumed school on Monday. He is such a brilliant and happy boy, full of smiles, talks 10 to the dozen, a prayer warrior and as small as he is will lay hands on his siblings in the home and they get better.

I know he is made for signs and wonders. His journey is a Divine one and I and my friends are blessed to be a part of it.

Thank You God for seeing us through (so far) this assignment. God bless and prosper everyone who selflessly gave for his upkeep. God sees you and you are rewarded beyond measure.

Have a great weekend everyone”.
