Magic - 3

When I was younger, still in secondary school, I had read a story about some young child that needed do a life-saving procedure, and was desperately requesting for well-meaning Nigerians to donate any amount they could in order to help her.

I understood that the way this worked was that; by appealing to a large audience, the few people who responded with small donations together could sum up to make a difference.

It wasn't the first time I had seen this kind of thing before, and it wouldnt be the last. But this time I was prepared. I had saved some money, and was willing to help. It wasnt easy to give up my money, but I decided that this person needed it more than I did. I could be a hero!! I took the details of the Wema account number down and found my way across the town to send my little hero fare across.

***Saving Mama***
Today, Mama's health condition worsened drastically, and the doctor threatened, despite my tears, to abandon mama and let her die if i don't find a way to fetch her food. You see, the treatment wouldn't work, because she hadn't eaten for days. There is no food at home, no money either. Sometimes, she falls when she stands, and cries like a baby, when the doctor's injections come rushing down her veins. It's painful!
