    Abraham Olagbegi had a diagnosis of a rare blood disorder from infancy, but it wasn’t until the age of 12 that the situation became critical. Doctors warned him that without a bone marrow transplant, the disorder could prove fatal. Within a year, he underwent the transplant along with a rigorous session of chemotherapy, and his prognosis looks optimistic, yet the narrative doesn’t conclude there.

    Due to his condition, Abraham was eligible for Make-A-Wish, and he decided to utilize his wish to support others.

    Throughout his upbringing, Abraham and his family frequently engaged in voluntary work to provide meals for the homeless in their locality. It was only natural that his wish was centered on continuing this endeavor. He expressed to his mother that through his wish, he wished to provide a warm meal to the homeless once a month for a year.

    Every third Thursday of the month, Abraham, along with the Make-A-Wish Mississippi division, collaborates with local entities and enterprises to offer 80 hot meals to the homeless individuals at Poindexter Park in Jackson. This month will mark the third occasion of “Abraham’s Table.”

    “Upon receiving their plates, some homeless individuals return to express their gratitude through song,” Abraham shared with CBS News. “It truly warms our hearts, and my parents always instilled in us the importance of being a blessing to others.”

    “We were elated,” Linda Sermons, an aide at Make-A-Wish Mississippi, remarked during the inaugural event in September. “This represents our first charitable wish within our 20-year presence in the state. [It’s] a significant milestone for us, and it also marks Abraham’s inaugural meal service.”
