Three years ago, my entire life changed because a community believed in me.

When I joined my church in the second half of 2022, my pastor, Chris Xael, encouraged everyone to learn a tech skill. I had the hunger, but not the tools.

My parents couldn’t afford a phone, let alone a computer, so I worked at a sawmill just to buy a small Android device. That phone became my first computer.

Then something happened that I still think about every day.

Eduardo Vedes ✨ saw my story and shared it with his network. Strangers came together and helped me get a real computer. 
That moment changed everything.

Today, just three years later, I’ve been able to:
- Grow a community of 9,000+ followers on LinkedIn
- Reach 5,000+ readers on Medium
- Build strong TypeScript skills (Rust is next!)
- Earn my first USD as a developer

None of this would have happened without the people who believed in me when I had nothing but determination.

Now, I want to pay that forward.

Caleb Wodi is a 15-year-old kid in Nigeria learning to code on his phone. I see myself in him.
The drive, the hunger, the discipline, he’s already pushing boundaries with the little he has.
And just like my story, a single computer could change his entire trajectory.

Let’s help him unlock his potential.
If you’ve ever believed in the power of opportunity, I’m asking you to join me in supporting him 🙏

Even the smallest contribution can create a turning point in someone’s life.
