This young boy.If it wasn’t by God’s mercy, he would not be still breathing.
He is the reason we believe miracles still exist.
He had a terrible accident that nearly saw him dying.
According to his mother, the boy survived the impossible.
Meet our little brother cedric.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but we often look so long at the closed door that would not see the one which has been opened for us.
As you know, this loneliness that only exists in one’s mind, the loneliest moment in someone’s life is one that watching the whole world fall apart and all they can do is stare blankly.
It was a beautiful Tuesday evening.
I was coming from the market and found children preparing porridge.
As i went to the shop looking for the bread, one sibling scared cedric and the whole saucepan full of hot porridge fell on him and his body was burned to the extent that nobody believed that he would once again come back to normal.
He burned completely and by when he returned to normal, everyone was shocked.
Everyone knows my son survived the impossible.
I had that bad news right where i was on the shop, when another child came running to me saying what happened.
Coming back, i was shocked and terrified by what my boy was looking like the whole body was full of burned.
There’s a neighboring mother who came before me and powered water to him and applied some herbs.
I just had one thing in mind: put him in the back and rushed to the hospital, but blood was flowing all over and some of his bad body were falling.
Reaching at the hospital he had fainted and doctors would not believe that it was only hot porridge that can cause such a terrible accident.
His condition by then was so critical that he looked dead.
He wasn’t even moving by.
When they injected him was not even feeling something for me.
I thought he had gone out of this world.
After a while he vomited and doctors told me not to worry, who were transferred to another hospital later that night in the morning.
Doctors tried their best in saving his life, but still he was not making a single movement.
They gave him oxygen then applied some casts over his body.
My boy’s condition kept becoming worse that the next day they had me sign some papers to accept his operation.
He spent almost the whole day in the operation room.
When seeing him, he was still not awake, i touched him, but he could not wake up.
Then the doctor came and pinched him for once and he was awakened.
The mother says that in such challenging moments she needed monetary support, of which she tried paying the leader she had, and ended up selling each and everything she had, hence putting her in so many debts that she has not paid up to this present day.
During those days it required so much money to pay for his treatment and medicine, where he had to wear casts that would cover almost his entire body.
Doctors, after realizing that i had run out of money in those days, they helped me and their child got free meals and free fruits.
I spent three months in the hospital, but because i had nothing to pay and medicine was crucial, i got loans from neighbors.
Even today i still owe a lot of people some money, and even at the hospital there is a lot of money of which i was not able to pay, and now everyone who gave me money is asking me to pay their dates and i’m almost running wild because i don’t have what to pay them and i have no any job opportunity.
Some of my other children also failed to go to school due to lack of Schofield.
There are so many and they all need to attend school so that they would have a better future and there is no way i can work.
Most of the times i suffer asthma, which brings me some difficulties in breathing, and doing these casual jobs would not be a better idea.
I would end up losing myself too.
My body is weak and i’m not capable of doing nothing.
I have produced all of my five children via caesarean delivery.
I’m really not strong physically.
I have tried doing anything, but it doesn’t work out.
It’s very difficult for me to unfold.
What can sustain this family?
This woman says that his son, cedric, did not fully recover and he needs some other medicine.
But the problem here?
She says she owes the hospital a lot of money that they can’t help her anymore other than first paying the previous date.
I would call them if i got the money and then send it to the account, then reschedule the appointment because i missed the one we had the last December.
They had told me that they’ll check up on him and see how far he’s doing.
Then see what else they can help.
Cedric is always scratching the back and since the accident he never gets some sleep.
These cars in his back are so painful to him and they can’t let him rest.
All he does is ask me to help him scratch those scars, and i’m so worried that if doctors don’t give him a close follow-up, this might result into something strange: cancer.
This woman says that before the accident here life was normal.
Of course they never had a lot, but they used the little they had.
She adds that after this terrible accident they gave everything they had and spent eat on the boy, cedric, but all wasn’t even enough to save the boy’s life.
She requests each of you watching her on your screens, to help her with paying this boy’s medical bill.
She also insists that if given more money, she can at least pay other children’s school fees.
I wish i would have good summer returns to pay my debt first.
That is haunting me every time, which is the reason why my boy has not returned to the hospital.
I need advocacy for Cedric to get treatment which will prevent him from having other diseases that might result from this scratching.
I also need to survive, and working for other people seems impossible due to my health, sport condition, but in case there is capital, i can run a small business and sustain the family.
Is the action, not the foot of the action, that is important?
You have to do the right thing.
It might not be in your power, may not be in your time that there will be any fruit, but that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing.
You may never know what result may come from your action, but if you do nothing, there’ll be no result
