Guyana: Young genius Keziah Pilgrim, born without hands, aspires to become doctor

A seven-year-old genius from Guyana, Keziah Pilgrim, who was born without hands, has pledged to become a doctor. The girl also has a hole in her heart and is required to visit the Georgetown Public Hospital for monthly medical check-ups.

Recently, the girl met with the professional sports team A Mohamed, whose aim is to make people happy, offer inspiration and put smiles on their faces.

The team said that it was indeed an inspiration and privilege to have met seven-year-old Keziah Pilgrim.

Due to her incapacitation, she uses her feet to complete basic tasks. These include eating, writing, drawing, and getting dressed, among others.

The young girl has always been passionate towards her life and works hard in her studies and other hobbies as well.

According to the reports, she is also required to eat steamed greens and lots of fruits and use a special brand of milk due to her heart condition.

Little Keziah hails from 'B' Field Sophia, Greater Georgetown, where she resides with her two other siblings and mother. She previously attended St. Sidwell's Primary School, but due to her condition, she was transferred to David Rose School.

However, her mother, 32-year-old Junita Daniels, is currently employed with the Ministry of Health as an office assistant, while her two siblings (twins) attend West Ruimveldt Primary School and are expected to sit the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) this year.

Looking after three daughters, especially Keziah, has been quite challenging for the single mother without the necessary financial support. The child's father has not played any role in her upbringing since birth. In fact, he disowned her.

Despite this, the single mother kept her head above rough waters to provide for her children.

Notably, Mohamed reached out to the single mother to offer his assistance after learning about her situation.

During the brief meeting with the child and her mother earlier today, he handed over a laptop, a number of stationery items, a one-year supply of milk and a bed to them.

The businessman was undoubtedly impressed with the skills exhibited by little Keziah. He also wished both the mother and child the best of luck in the future and to never lose hope.

Mohamed also shared glimpses of his meeting with the young girl and her mother, which made the social media users very emotional. [caption id="attachment_67434" align="aligncenter" width="1363"] Young girl using laptop with her legs[/caption]

"Wow, this makes me very emotional....may Allah continue to richly bless you and your family. Always keep up your team, Mr A, M," wrote a user named Zabeda Baksh.

Another user said, "May Allah continue to shower his choicest blessings upon you and your beautiful family. Keep up your great work."
