Blessing lived with her aunt for about two years after her father died and her mother disappeared. Blessing suffered from severe malnutrition, and she weighed only 12 pounds at age three. When Social Welfare discovered her fragile condition, they admitted her to the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center. Shortly after her hospital stay, Blessing was taken to the Rafiki Village Tanzania. She arrived in 2013. Blessing continues to be a sweet, loving young lady. She loves Jesus and enjoys singing praises to Him. She often prays for those around her and continues to grow in her knowledge of the Lord.
