Some blessings come into our lives in the most unexpected time and ways.
Meet Jimmy
22-year-old Jimmy Amisial from Gonaives, Haiti was on a break from school in Texas when he had an unexpected encounter that changed his life.
Happy New Year
He was walking down the streets going to a New Year’s Eve party to welcome 2018 with his friends when he saw a commotion.
He Got Intrigued
While he was walking, he saw a small crowd on the sidewalk and approached them with curiosity only to see a poor little baby in the trash.
He Took Him Home
Jimmy cautiously and gently picked up the 3-month-old baby and took him home to his mom, Elicie Jean, who was, of course, shocked to see his son come home with an infant.
His Condition
Jimmy kept the baby overnight and made a police report about what happened. He and his mom attended to the baby. He said, “While cleaning him, we noticed he had some fire ant bites and an allergic reaction, so we used some lotion to help stop the pain.”
Becoming A Guardian
A judge then visited their house and asked Jimmy if he wanted to assume interim custody of the kid since no one came to claim him, but he still needed time to decide.
His Decision
Jimmy took his time to think about the situation. He said, “After he asked me that question, I had a lot of sleepless nights. I tossed and turned, but my mother reminded me things happen for a reason. I’ve always wanted to be a part of something great, and to me, that was the moment.”
Dad And Son
The 22-year-old took care of the little baby he named Emilio Angel Jeremih and raised him as part of their family. He is now working on legally adopting Emilio while working as a part-time landscaper and delivery assistant.
