I have a friend I met via instagram, long story short I started becoming stronger in faith in 2024, and in result of that wanted to be more surrounded by things related. I followed all these religious accounts that spread the word of god to gain a deeper understanding. This 18 year old kid from Gambia reached out and we talked about our faith and Christianity, I was confused why he was texting me so much and he ended up telling me him and his family have been homeless since his parents were recently killed in a car accident, he is left with his grandmother and 2 siblings. He tries his best to make ends meet by gathering and selling fire wood, but it is not enough to sustain him and his family. Despite what he has been going through, he keeps his faith in Christ and god through these hard times. It’s been inspiring to do better and be more grateful to say the least but has also taught me not to look past the needy and to lend a helping hand, the lord knows some people just need a helping hand .
I’ve been trying to help him even started a go fund me when I was at my prior job and were able to get him food and rent money, my goal is to eventually get him to self sufficiency.
I just pray that the lord guides him towards opportunities of peace and prosperity, things are definitely hard for him, his grandmother is sick and the financial obligations for rent medical bills and food are above what he can do on his own. The lord is his only solution and him
And I both know the lord is working
His name is Sulayman he just turned 18 in December. Prayer is probably the most powerful thing we can do and we need as many as possible!!
God bless
