I want to start by saying a big thank you to @surpassinggoogle for this back to life project initiative. I also want to thank @iconnelly for the contest which will enable to speak me about how I was nursed back to life and how I wiped away someone's tears.

REJECTED BY FAMILY, ACCEPTED BY A STRANGER.

2012 will forever remain fresh in my head. I had just gotten a job with Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and was posted to asaba, Delta State to serve. I wasn't afraid because I had an aunt living there so accommodation wasn't a problem. I arrived asaba and resumed my recruit training as a paramilitary personnel. My aunt never cared if I ate or not. She wasn't concerned about my welfare but she was more concerned that I leave home very early exposing her family to danger and that my coming brought about a discord between her and her husband. She even called me a stranger. I was in tears when I overheard her conversation with her friend. I called my cousin to ask if he could take me in but she declined that her house was filled up. I almost lost hope. I was devastated.

THE NEED I HAD
At that moment, I knew I had to leave her house but I had nowhere to go. I was barely two weeks old in town and have no friend. I cried to the church and the family of Precious Okonne took me in.

HOW MY TEARS WERE WIPED.
This family who never knew me from anywhere took me in and gave me shelter, food and clothing because I was yet to be paid. They catered for my every need and helped me save until a year later when I was able to rent my own house and relocate. They were heaven sent to me. They saw my need and came to my rescue. When family rejected me, a stranger took me.

PART TWO: HOME TO A STRANGER
I had done so many good deeds to people but I choose to talk about this because it was the same rendered to me I also rendered to another in need.
I was on my phone one morning when my phone rang and I answered. It turned out to be a friend on Facebook who got my number from my page and decided to call and ask if I could help out a lady. Mind you, the caller and I are not even close. We are just friends on Facebook

THE NEED I SAW
Doris (not real name) has applied for the last Nigerian Police Force application for employment and her state for interview was Delta State and the town was asaba. Doris has no one in asaba and was distraught what to do as the interview was the next day. She wrote about it in a group and someone decided to help by calling me. Immediately I heard about it, my mind traveled back to 2012 when I also needed similar help and without much stress, I asked for her number and contacted her.

HOW I WIPED HER TEARS
I gave her direction and was in communication with her until she arrived. I took her to my home and made her comfortable. I made dinner for her and she ate. I helped teach her some mathematics in preparation for the written interview. I coached her on the rules of interview. The next day, I took her to the venue after we had breakfast and made sure she was settled before going to work. She had a good day and the evening we met back at home. The next day she left and I gave her some money for tfare. My hand was still stretched when she hugged me and tears dropped from her eyes. In her own words she said, " even if I don't get this job, I'm glad I met you. Please be my sister". I was brought to tears too because she has told me about her suffering the previous night.

LESSON LEARNT
One good deed deserves another.
