Often, life throws us into deep troubles, making us believe that our problems are the worst in the world. But when we look around, we might realize that hardships are not unique to us. John Macharia’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

John, born without arms, faced a life of challenges from the beginning. His struggles intensified after his mother passed away and his father remarried. His stepmother’s mistreatment forced him to leave home and fend for himself, despite having no resources or skills to start with.

“I have lived a very difficult life since my mother passed away,” John recalls. “The tragedy of being born without arms was heavy enough, but my stepmother’s conduct exacerbated my situation.”

Despite these challenges, John maintained his optimism and faith in God. He found ways to do everyday tasks independently, using his feet instead of hands, which inspired him to continue his journey.

John’s life took a significant turn when he met Polymokami. Their love story began over a cup of tea in a hotel, and it was love at first sight. Polly had her share of struggles in the past, but she chose to settle down with John, proving that love knows no boundaries.

John, a gospel singer, used his talent to inspire others to love each other and prioritize faith in God. He firmly believes that God created everyone uniquely and that His plan is good for all of us.

Through the support of the Afromax community and their faith in God, John and Polly’s life started to improve. Donations from generous people provided them with hope and opportunities they never imagined.

As John pursues his dream of launching his own business, he exemplifies the strength of the human spirit and the power of love and faith. His story reminds us that even in the face of adversity, we can find hope, happiness, and the determination to change our lives.

“Foreign” is a story of resilience, love, and faith—a testament to the indomitable human spirit that prevails even in the darkest of times.
