Abraham Olagbegi, 13, surprised his family by using his Make-A-Wish to unselfishly give back to his community. Olagbegi, who was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder that required him to receive a bone marrow transplant last year, went through a successful surgery. He was later contacted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which gifts children with life-threatening illnesses a granted wish. Surprisingly, he used his wish to feed the homeless every month for a year, CBS News reports. 

"I remember we were coming home from one of his doctor appointments and he said, 'Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,'" Miriam Olagbegi, Abraham's mom, told the outlet. "I said, 'Are you sure Abraham? You could do a lot. … You sure you don't want a PlayStation?'"

But the PlayStation wasn't as high on the teenager's wish list. His father also supported the idea, Miriam told the outlet. 

"So, of course, we weren't going to miss an opportunity like that because we always tried to instill giving into our children," she said.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation couldn't have been happier to take on the wish, according to WLBT 3. The opportunity also served as Make-A-Wish Mississippi's first philanthropic wish in over 20 years.

Make-A-Wish's Mississippi chapter assisted Olagbegi's family in hosting a day-long event in Jackson in September to give out free food to those in need with supplies donated from local businesses. Abraham told the outlet that he and his family fed maybe 80 people that day. 

"When the homeless people get the plate, some of them would come back and sing to us and thank us," he said. "And it just really feels good, it warms our hearts. And my parents always taught us that it's a blessing to be a blessing."

Abraham and his family are scheduled to host the event every third Saturday of each month. The Mississippi chapter has pledged to help Abraham by seeking out local businesses that can offer assistance and food to serve up to 80 people. He plans to turn the effort into a nonprofit organization that he's already named "Abraham's Table." 

"We're just very excited to be able to continue on this endeavor. It's just so rewarding," his mom said. "If I was out there on the streets, homeless, I would want somebody at some point to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that's what I try to instill in my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do."
