This story took place in Nairobi, Kenya and it happened that a little boy, John Thuo, just like his other poor friends came out to beg on the streets from the cars passing by. He had no family or relatives and therefore had to survive on his own. Usually, not all the drivers reacted kindly but he was already used to it.
One day, he walked up to a car to began to as usual but what he saw in the car left him amazed. The driver of the car was a woman with so many tubes attached to her body and the tubes were connected to various cylinders. There was also a device which he did not know its use. Out of astonishment, he decided to ask the woman why she had all those things connected to her and what the cylinders were for. The woman, Gladys, had serious problems with her lungs and for her to continue living, she had to carry oxygen cylinders and its generator with her always. On the ground, she used a wheelchair which had an attachment for carrying the cylinders.
Gladys Kamande told him everything and the poor shocked boy burst into tears on realizing that there were people whose condition were even worse than his own knowing that health is life. Immediately, he offered her all the money he had gotten from the day's begging even though he knew how little it was. He really wanted to help the woman. The woman herself tried to calm John down as he continued to cry. You should not forget that this is a poor beggar who barely has enough to eat to stay alive.
People around began to video what was happening and by a few days later, the videos had gone viral all over the world. This was a turn in the lives of both Gladys and John. Over $85,000 dollars were donated for them. Gladys' treatment was funded and her health improved.
John was adopted by a kind woman and is now schooling in a good school.
