In 2016 his parents left him for dead in a small village in Nigeria because they suspected him of being a witch.
The above picture is when Danish aid worker Anja Ringgren Loven found the starving, innocent soul walking naked in the streets. It was the moment her heart was shattered and where she fell in love all in one.
Anja Ringgren Loven named the child Hope, “I chose to call him Hope, because right now, we’re all hoping that he survives,” Loven wrote in a blog post. She posted that a couple days after rescuing the poor child.
We are all happy to see the recovery, and progress that Hope has been making. The smile that he now has and the love that they have grown for each other is a grand story to tell, and something worth cherishing.

I've seen this story before but it never ceases to amaze me how love can heal. Really is a powerful tool. Thank you for this reminder.
I salute for helping those children I don't want any child to be like this.
This is a disgrace on human beings
So sad to see children treated like that , but fantastic to hear about it had a happy ending, thanks mike
I salute the love shared by Anja Loven. Its not easy caring for soneone you have no remote connection with.
This is one of the things I am trying to change as a Nigerian on steemit. I read the news when it broke out and till now, I feel shame whenever I see this. However, through blockchain tech and innovation, im playing my own part to ensure such illiteracy is dealt with.
Well Done! I like your efforts for humanity. Prayers
God helps those who helps others

It's time to toss out the concept of teaching someone to fish. We have the tools to fish all by itself. Now it's time to get it to everyone.
This article is really touching! Thanks for sharing!
You did a remarkable job. Hats off to you.... May GOD bless you
all we have to do is show some kindness to the world and that is what she did, by showing some kindness she gave a little boy a chance in life and an opportunity to live again. we need more people who can do all they can do and shine some light to this world
I've seen this news before however it really surprise me that a simple act of love could change a life.
If we could set love priority first and hate to be least, there's no war, no division. There will be only prosperous community respecting each and everyone.
So, I pray, that love may fill us first to share before judging, before hate.
Much love @joseph for sharing this and for reminding us, as long as there is love there will be a life. God bless!
on the off chance that you can't discover faith in mankind. be the faith in humankind.
The mentality here is quite low. Children are are traumatized and battered by their illiterate parents. Some are sent out of homes to roam on the street. God help us!
Uff very sad situation.we should gather and help them.we should respect.hunger is terrible..my eyes are crying.but it is good news little poor boy is alive live save.may he live long...
I read about this story some times ago,but it still look fresh. We should discard every wrong mentality
Wow
Well done I salute your courage and love.
If we all can have this kind of love and compassion towards each other and small kids, the world would have been a better place for all.
thousands of kids like him are waiting for help and i must say we should be helping hand for them.

Thank you for sharing the wonderful story with us. If there is such discretion in every human, then there will be no such problem in this world.
good post you nice fren
He looks so healthy now awesome story
The basis for such accusation is predicated on abject poverty and acute ignorance. Why have the children of the rich and highly placed not been subducted to such inhumane treatment? Thank God he is now in school, education is a great equaliser.
I am sad to see this kind of condition in Nigeria, although I come from indonesia. Hopefully more aid coming to ease our brothers there. Thank you for share this post @joseph
@hattaarshavin, thanks for stopping by and reading post.

Poverty is truly a diesease...promoting humanity is key.
This is amazing, but I think in this day and age we can do this in a more practical fashion.
We waste out money for BS and not actually for essentials of life.
They are in a very difficult situation. We must help them. Thank for this helpful post. I like sensitive people.
This is amazing am happy people like you still exist on this planet..
I give 25% of my earning in a year to a organisation who help those kids who are helpless. And i feel very happy when i donate my money. It's different kind of happiness feeling.
Till now i was donating my earnings from cryptos. But now i am also seeking to give my some % from Steemit earnings.
I have started blog here and i hope you will like it.
