Well, Sacrifices we all know is something of value which will cost you something, expressed to your loved ones. The biggest kind of sacrifice I have ever known is laying down your life for someone’s sake / some persons which was what Jesus Christ Did for us on the cross of Calvary.

Other kinds of sacrifice are human based. Probably from you to a loved one which is what I will be sharing.

I Sacrificed My School Fee to Save a Life Back Then
I will like to walk you through an encounter I had some time ago in 2021 precisely, I came across a young man when I was in school. Although he was a senior colleague and represented the department in various outings of the faculty.

Fast forward to what happened, One day, he was on his way to school and there is a usual bush track which student normally access to get to school quicker and faster.
On his way he got attacked by some boys who claimed to belong to a cult group. His phone was taken and he was beaten to pulp due to the refusal to turn up when he was called at first.
I saw a lot of people gathered at the scene, on getting there, I realized he was the one. I couldn’t wait see the blood gushing out. Then I calculated that instead of going to the school clinic which is distant apart, there is a nearby clinic before the track.

I wasn’t with enough money at hand, the little money I had on me was my feeding for the week and my school fees.
I thought it would be an inexpensive treatment nearby that would be given to him so I acted like a Samaritan woman that day. To cut the long story short the nurse told me his vein was injured, despite the efforts to stitching, it wasn’t successful.
He needed money to carryout major medical operation to cloth the blood in order to stop the flow. Hence he was transferred to a hospital.

My greatest joy is that despite all of this he didn’t lose his life. The money needed for the operation cost half of my school fees and I immediately carried out the transfer for the medical personnel.
I couldn’t watch him die and his education chapter closed. I had to look for money. That was how he was treated and discharged successfully from hospital.

What Happened After?
Immediately he was discharged from hospital, one of my client who I usually braid her hair as a side hustle I do to get income called me. She told me she had a surprise package for me. As I went to her home, she handed over to me a huge amount that was able to care for me throughout the semester with nice treats. Because I had earlier helped her son secure admission in the school, she appreciated me and I dint have to call to start looking for money to pay fees.

To cut the long story short, after been released from hospital he was curious on how he could repay back before I told him not to worry about it. This person who I treated and paid for his hospital bills later became my boyfriend I recently shared in a post. He helped me a lot whilst I was in school even I was less on finances, he helped me out because he graduated before me and later got a job as at then.

It is always good to sacrifice something for people they do not have to be your loved ones, if they are in need, you can offer a helping hand. it might not really be finance, but your time and effort spent with them will go a long way.
Thanks for the time reading my blog, I wish you all a happy new week!
