Day by day, the internet is flooded with negative stories, many of which makes one wonder about the fate of mankind. But even amidst the gloom, many heartwarming stories are told, as much needed reminders pointing to the good in humanity.

One of such cases of good deeds is the story of an American family who adopted a Gambian lady, a total stranger with schooling challenges in the US as their child.

The Gambian lady narrating how the journey started said she begged her father to go study in the US, as she thought it was going to be an easy process.

Her father reportedly took a loan and bought her a plane ticket. She arrived America with only $150 and had to live with a Gambian family.

Surprising to her, she was faced with a number of issues upon getting to the US in search of institutions that offered international students suitable financial aid. Nothing was forthcoming.

The Gambian lady said she lost hope and was planning to travel back home before she went to the last school she planned to visit called Montgomery College.

It was a five-minute bus ride from where she was staying and when she visited the campus, she learned about a scholarship for international students.

The lady narrated:

“For two months I visited schools, asking for financial aid—but nothing was available for people like me. I began to accept the reality that I would need to go back home. There was one last school called Montgomery College. It was a five-minute bus ride from where I was staying. And when I visited the campus, I learned about a scholarship for international students. But the deadline was approaching, and I would need to submit my application that day.“

The lady said;

“I searched everywhere for a computer. I walked through the hallways looking for any door that was open. And that’s how I discovered Professor Rudin. She was sitting at her desk. She had currency from all over the world hanging on her wall. I noticed a bill from Gambia, and that’s how we started talking. I stayed for two hours. I told her my entire story, and by the end we were crying and hugging each other. Kelly researched the scholarship and learned it wouldn’t work out.“

In a sudden turn of event, Professor Kelly Rudin and her husband Tom offered to pay her school fees, accommodate, clothe and fed her.

She added that upon her graduation from Georgetown, the Rudin family paid for her father to attend her ceremony.

“When I graduated from Georgetown, they even paid for my father to attend the ceremony. He was so overwhelmed when he arrived. He gave Tom the biggest hug.”

OH GOD. PLEASE SEND ME MY DESTINY HELPER TOO.

I stayed for two hours. I told her my entire story, and by the end we were crying and hugging each other.

"But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?"
This was the question which preceded the parable of the good Samaritan. The golden parable which perfectly portrayed the golden rule of love.

No matter how much the world keeps plunging deep into the dark abyss of inhumanity; true humanity would never cease to sparkle in the dark.
The lamp of humanity can never be totally put-out. The night is so dark, but the stars of hope would keep shining in the darkest night.
The story of Michael Oher and his White parents - a good story of humanity.
The story of this Gambian lady and her White Sponsors - another good story of humanity.

Humanity is the only true religion, and it should be one of the main messages of any true religion.
Jesus said, "For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."
Race, background, skin color, tribe, language, position and status are not what make us humans, but our ability to live together in love as a family, regardless of those odds, differences or barriers which set us apart.

By the way, one big lesson to learn from this.
'Don't relent on your good dreams.
Always try your best.'
Something might not happen while you're trying your best, but something would likely happen just when you're about to give up. Even if something doesn't happen, later when you might have forgotten, an opportunity would likely blink or better still, it might lead you to a better option or opportunity.

This doesn't happen all the time but I've seen it happen many times or even most times.
I also don't know the mystery behind why this works. All I know is that most times, this shiit works.
