A young man, Ichie Agbalanza, in Abuja shared this heartwarming
encounter he had with the elderly homeless woman pictured above whom he
found begging on the streets of Abuja. Read what he wrote on his
Facebook page below
Brothers and Sisters ignored her like she's a log of wood lying beside the road, no one gave her even a smile to pacify her soul... Pain and agony was written all over her as she continued regardless.
I went down to the market and
bought few stuffs and I came back to meet her... I handed the stuffs
over to her and I could read the excitement and cheers in her face as
she kept saying things in her language which I don't understand. She
opened what I bought for her and offered me some of it to eat with her, I
ate with her as we took selfies and she laughed so hatd whenever I
showed her a picture of herself, I decided to sit back with her and beg
for alms.
We started begging for alms
together and she was all smiles... People couldn't understand what was
happening as I walked towards them and ask them to drop a penny for the
old lady... It was crazy, it was fun and almost everyone I walked up
dropped something in her plate, I spent almost an hour with her and I
missed my appointment... But the Joy I gave and the Joy I received was
way more important.
I counted the money we
made and it was N1,200 (One Thousand Two Hundred Naira) I handed it over
to her and bade her goodbye as she was left with all smiles and thanks.
It was a moment to behold...that's why am sharing this one with you.
Just a little more love can heal the world.
