Help Blessing Get the Care She Desperately Needs

A Forgotten Child Left to Suffer—But We Can Change Her Life

I never imagined that a short trip to Nigeria would leave such an imprint on my heart.

During my four day stay, I came face to face with a situation that shook me to my core—a little girl named Blessing's situation. Blessing was abandoned on a thin, worn mattress outside her grandmother’s home. Eight years old, partially paralysed, non-verbal, and completely dependent, she was left behind—discarded like she was nothing.

Who is Blessing?
Blessing is a beautiful child with piercing, almond-shaped eyes that hold an entire universe inside them. But she is trapped—unable to move, speak, or even ask for help.

Over a month ago, her mother—or someone from her family—left her outside her grandmother’s home and never came back. Why? Most likely because they had no means to care for a sick child in a country where medical care is a privilege, not a right.

Her grandmother, a kind but struggling woman, survives on a tiny income from sewing clothes, while dealing with her own health issue. She loves Blessing fiercely and wants to care for her, but she is overwhelmed, terrified, and without resources.

The Harsh Reality
- Blessing has no mobility, she cannot sit, stand, use her hands or walk.
- She is non-verbal, unable to express pain, hunger, or fear.
- She is doubly incontinent, meaning she has no control over her bodily functions.
- She is completely dependent, requiring 24/7 care.
- She has been left undiagnosed—her condition remains a mystery because her grandmother cannot afford even a basic hospital visit.

She Has Been Denied a Future—But We Can Change That
Right now, Blessing is suffering in silence.
She has never had access to a doctor who could diagnose her condition.
She has never been given a treatment plan to help improve her quality of life.
She has never known what it feels like to be seen, valued, and given a chance.

But together, we can rewrite her story.

How Your Donation Can Save Blessing
Your support can provide:
✅ Medical Assessment & Diagnosis – A full evaluation to understand her needs.
✅ Hospital & Treatment Costs– To give her the care she has never had.
✅ Mobility Aids & Therapy – So she can experience movement and independence.
✅ Basic Needs – Food, Clothing, Hygiene Supplies – To give her dignity.
✅ A Sustainable Support Plan – Helping her grandmother access ongoing care.

We Cannot Ignore Her—Will You Help Please ?
No child should be left behind simply because they were born into hardship. No child should be abandoned due to disability. No child should suffer in silence when we have the power to help.

Blessing’s grandmother is doing all she can, but she cannot do it alone. We need you—your kindness, your generosity, your willingness to make a difference. Please don't look the other way.

Even the smallest donation can help change everything for Blessing. If you cannot donate, please share her story—your voice is just as powerful.
