Melissa Giebel & Anejodo Paul: Boy I Picked From 18 Years Ago Now Medical Doctor by odinceblog(m): 1:41pm On Oct 05, 2019
A Nigerian Based American Lady, Melissa, shares a Touching story of a Nigerian boy who she picked on the street 18 years Ago (abandoned with a disease) she took care of him, treated, trained him in school, now he is a medical Doctor.

Read Her testimony Below;

Guys! I am so excited!!!!! This last week my “adopted” brother became Dr Paul.

Our family first met Anejodo Paul in a small remote village in central Nigeria about 18 1/2 years ago.

I remember my heart breaking when I saw this kid under a tree swatting flies away from the raw and open tissue on his leg that had been caused by a flesh eating bacteria.

Many months later, through the kindness of a donor in the U.S., he was brought to the SDA Hospital in Ile-Ife for treatment of his buruli ulcer related disease and complications.

Over a year later, he came home to live with our family so that, at 13 years of age, he could start school. Did I mention he was 13 and starting first grade?

And this week, he got the news that he has passed his final medical school exams.

Thanks to MANY miracles from God, the medical care provided by doctors at the SDA Hospital in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, the support of many who contributed to cover his school fees, and other needs through the years, his own persistence in spite of MANY obstacles, he is now Dr. Paul!!!

We are all so proud of you, Paul! And I can’t wait to see where God continues to take you on this crazy journey he has had you on.

Now this is an achievement! Having millions in cash and numerous investments without impacting lives is not. God bless you immeasurably!

Whether the boy was forgotten or not, Nigeria as a country can change your destiny.
Happy for the young man that God used his parents to make him escape this shithole.

Nice story.
Thanks for sharing.

Dr Paul, please spread the kindness too.

Seventh Day Adventist Hospital is a landmark in ile-ife. It's a mission hospital with good records.
God bless the Adventists.

I am inspired!

He lifts the poor from the dust
and the needy from the garbage dump.
He sets them among princes,
even the princes of his own people!
He gives the childless woman a family,
making her a happy mother.
Praise the LORD!
Psalm 113:7-9

This is so kind of her. I was even expecting to see a black woman not knowing she's white.

That's extraordinary kindness at work. God bless you.
