Woman Gives Her Number To Now Homeless Ex-Schoolmate And A Life Is Changed

In school, there is always equity in everything we receive. Whether it is the education we get or the supplies, the school usually makes sure every student get the same things. It is how we use this later that determines how life is going to get for us. We all grow up and aspire to have a successful career in a field we are passionate about. Some of us get to achieve this while some of us do not. In this story, this lady meets her ex-classmate and does something to him that sent shock-waves all around.

Meeting By Chance

Life is ever unpredictable. You can never be too sure about anything. There are good days and bad days and some moments you experience can change your life forever. We never know what life is going to lay on the table. And so when Wanja Mwaura was just spending her day, she met an old classmate of hers, living on the streets with no home.

From Her Past

Where was she living? Well, this lady is a local who resides in Kiambu County in Kenya. Also, when did she meet this homeless man who was with her during her school days? This happened in October of 2017. Wanja was on her way to run errands in their local market. This was her plan before the time came for her to finish her shift at the local hospital.

A Busy Nurse

So Wanja helps a job as a nurse, so that meant she was always quite busy. She did not get to have shopping, so she was quite stoked to go to the market that day. It was an early morning, the only time she had, so Wanja rushed to get her much-needed essentials. She did not expect anything to happen that day, Wanja never thought this day would turn out to be so memorable.

Childhood Pals

And as the busy nurse was making her way to the market to buy what she needed, Wanja saw someone really familiar. However, she could not tell if this was the person she thought it was. But after a closer inspection, she had a realization that it was indeed her old classmate. His name was Patrick Wanjiru. She had a hard time telling if this was him or not at first.

Was It Patrick?

Patrick was actually from her school during her childhood days. And since he had a rough look, she could not tell right away if this was him or not. He was actually donning very shabby clothes. Because of what he was wearing, he was a little unrecognizable. But just then, Patrick re-introduced himself to Wanja who was startled to learn that it was really him.

Skilled Soccer Player

So it was a little shocking for her to find him this way because Patrick was never a dirty or untidy guy. In school, no one would have ever thought he would look like this one day“ Patrick, or Hinga as we called him, and I had met at primary school in 1992,” Wanja later revealed to interviewers, “Hinga used to be a great soccer player all throughout school. We nicknamed him ‘Pele.’”
