I was born like every normal child but never at the hospital.i was born at a corner mother pointed out for me inside our mud house.She said to me"there was no money to go to the hospital during the labor.Your father died before the time of your birth and he has no brother
or sister or father or mother to help me.She continued, You are my 9th child but you are the 3rd and the last child ,6 died long time ago and I took in out of anger because I wanted to forget the pain they caused me.I gave you the name CHINENYENWA(God gives children), because of what I have seen in life.How you grew to where u are now was by God's grace.You never tasted any good food like other children but you were just so special.I told her to stop because tears was almost dropping from my eyes and she stopped.As a child,I passed through a lot of pain .We were Always afraid of rain because of our licking hut.At times when it is raining in mid night,we would stand at a corner because the whole floor would be wet with water,but when the rain becomes heavy we would run out to beg one of the neighbors to allow us sleep with them.We eat more during raining season but outside that we manage because the one harvested always finish before the next farming season.I would go out at times to beg for food and work for them later.it was all painful and I move house to house at a tender age of seven to help others take care of their children.When I was 8,I entered basic one.It was never easy because Mama had to beg for uniform from those who had finished basic 6 and someone gave her.There was no shoes , sandals or slippers to wear to school.I don't even wear inner white as there was none and so I wore only pinafore for the main time.In basic two third term, there was no money for school fees and exam was approaching.It pained my teacher because am always the best in class and so could not send me home .He asked me to call Mama and the conclusion was that he will pay the fees and Mama would work on his farm to complete the payment.Oh! I cried again.Mama hated one thing which was BORROWING and so always go to her borrowers to work out whatever given to her.In April 2003 ,my cousin took me and promised Mama she would send me to school and I followed her which was another town.When I got there I found out that she sells food and suddenly I became her maid and I was 12 years then. I wake up early to prepare her children to school and after rush to her restaurant. While in her house,she didn't maltreat me and I was well fed but she didn't send me to school and I would work until am tired.i waited but she doesn't want to send me to school so left back to my house.Two weeks later a man called Gregory Nsofor who comes to one of the person I call UNCLE but don't know how we are related visited him from Onitsha .He has a very big plantation farm land in my town omasi .When he came ,he gathered children to help him plug his plantain which I was among.After plugging,we helped him to peel them.While peeling ,I was singing and later I left what I was peeling and started beating the church band kept there and they were responding.I love praising God and that was what I was doing when suddenly he said to " tomorrow I will give you money and you go and Barb your hair.i will take u to onitsha where u will go to school when am going back a day after tomorrow.He later gave me money and I told Mama what he said.he later came to Mama and told her and he never waited for her opinion at all.When the day reached I prepared and followed him while Mama cried on waving me good bye.Oh! I cried in pain.i followed a man I don't even know to a land I have never been to.I came to Onisha 11th April 2003.He took me to the wife's sister's house and I became their house help.They put me in school and I started from basic four instead of the basic six I was supposed to start from . When i finished basic six ,the wife died which was on September 7 ,2006.She died of cancer of the breast.Oh! another pain.I was never close to the husband because he is a busy man and the most wonderful creature on Earth.She left me with her four beautiful children.what do I know,I was only 16 years old and her first child was 9 while the last was four years. There was a big girl who was with us then and she was the one that cooks and I take care of the children , everything about them because that was how she divided the work before she died.The husband put me in High school and in 2009 the big girl left us and went back to her people. I Cried out again in pain. I wanted to follow her because she left when it was only just i and her and the man of the house went to work while the children went to Saturday lesson. I thought of living the house too but couldn't because I can't leave the children like that. I fell down back and started crying. I was crying for so many things of the most important was that I can't cook food at all.All she bought that Saturday to cook she left them and went back with her brother even without the man of the house knowing. I was just in Junior secondary 3 then.Right there looking at all that she bought to cook, with tears in my eyes I cried out to God and I told him to come and cook through me or send me an Angel who would always cook with me.Immediately,the tears on my eyes dried up and something like power entered me.I brought out all that she bought and I started cooking. I made a wonderful food and when the man tasted it ,he was surprised.He cried bitterly because of the girl .He refused to marry another wife evn till now because he cherished his late wife and children.God kept helping me and I graduated from high school as the best student.Not minding all the work I do in the house,I always take first position and overall best in some subjects.My school is a very big school "Anglican Girls' Grammar school"and is both bording and day but I was not a border. I do a lot of things in the house but that never took away intelligent from me.God was always merciful to me such that I understand easily.while in school , I had the desire for medicine and surgery alot and I started writing exams for it but none worked out for me. I wrote school of nursing exams and my name came out as the first name but it was halfed . Instead of Ifemjika Lovelyn it was Ifem Love. I cried but no one to help me.The man of the house knew that am intelligent and can pass any exam on Earth but he is confused on why I always fail.i got angry and waited for him to take the last baby who was sick to the hospital for treatment so that I could committe suicide .wen they left ,I rushed and took the rope I saw under our staircase to commit suicide. I tied the rope on the fan and put my head but it slipped away.i tried again but no way.i fell down and started crying.While crying i decided to go and see our parish priest and when I got there he was bittered and consoled me.He told me to go and write college of education exam and wen I wrote it first I was second highest out of 900 students that wrote the exam . I was admitted and I did my National Certificate in Education there .The man sponsored me without anybody helping him.While in College, I never lacked anything that money could buy.He always supply all that I need.I read biology/chemistry there and I was the best in my department while my best friend from Mathematic/physics was the overall best . I was happy and everyone was happy with me.I wrote direct entering exam to university of Benin and out many different institutions I was among the only 3 students that passed their exam.The man was so happy and he bought all that I needed for school again for me.Oh I cried and for the first time in life I called him"FATHER" .All these years I never call him that because I don't have the courage and I don't even know what it means to call father.God has been so wonderful to me such that I never borrow anything from people. I always have to give out.while in school, I met two children ,very poor without a mother leaving in a bad house without light.i made them my friends and my love for the poor grew deeper and deeper.When I see a poor child ,I remember my past ,how painful it was and I swore never to see a child suffer what I suffered.One day when I finished praying,a man came to me and told me that if I can do anything for God,that I should go and beg frm the rich and give to the poor.I cried out because I see it as a difficult task but for God's sake ,I will do anything. I prayed and the name JESUS OUR REDEEMER CHARITY WORK came to me.Then I started begging from the rich and give to poor children.,and poor ones. I pray for their givers and God answers me whenever I call.i prayed for his grace to follow me and since then he has been so merciful to me.
I trek alot from place to place begging and most at times ,my legs would pain me so bitterly because I have no car to travel with. I tried creating a link for the Charity work but I have no laptop to do so.There are many of them who doesn't have a good place to sleep on. I want to build free house for the poor where they
would stay and not pay but I have no money for that .But I believe in our thing; the God of the Universe will make all that I need to help the poor be complete.I will stop here for another day because I know that I will see you one day.
If it pleases you,you can DONATE anything you have to help us in the work we are doing to help mankind.You are giving to the poor and God of the poor will surely bless you in JESUS name,Amen.
