Christopher Seaga - Seeing The Light At The End of The Tunnel???

Christopher Seaga

With all the challenges that we have in Jamaica,  there are some wonderful things happening here. Wonderful things are happening here because there are many wonderful people in this country. When I look back as I approach  my near death anniversary experience, I have to give thanks to the many persons who assisted me. I was told by one lady who visited me at the hospital, that you are sick, you cannot make decisions for yourself  now. Another one said, "Mr. Derby yu can' dead now because wi need yu fi help wi". 😄

Many will recall that things happened so quickly and that my family members were not even aware of what had happened to me. Many of these persons who came to my assistance continue to check up on me and this includes my doctor, Dr. Donovan Jackson who works at Andrews Memorial Hospital and the Kingston Public Hospital.  Many persons too numerous to mention, still continue to send me gifts and continue to check up on me. Dentist, Dr. Andre Foote continues to give me great support. I would not give up that love for neither money nor position.

I was taught that the more you receive the more you are expected to give.  That brings me to the story about Christopher Seaga which I shared with you before on this blog site. I have never met Christopher Seaga. When I use to perform on stage, I met his father Edward Seaga (Former Prime Minister of Jamaica) and his mother Mitzy (Now Mitzie Mian and former Miss Jamaica). His dad had a brilliant mind and his mother a woman who is one of the most beautiful and charming person born in this country. The story of Christopher and his parents is a story about love. 

This story about Christopher began for me when my friend Mrs. Dorothy Carter-Bradford, CD, who has worked for many years with The Most Hon. Edward Seaga, sent me an article written by Christopher's sister, Annabella. The story was about Christopher, her talented brother who has represented Jamaica in swimming and who now had a medical condition.

Now there is hardly anything I could do to assist Christopher, but I said to myself, let me post this story on my blog because I am confident that there are good Jamaicans out there who might be willing to help. In a matter of days after the publication of the story, over 23, 000 persons had read the story. The good news is that I understand that there is an offer for the donation of a kidney and Christopher is now on the list for a transplant. He has faced other challenges recently and at one point I felt that this could be it for him but he is a fighter. He is now my inspiration and by the way, I still do not know him. 

Christopher Seaga is now on a mission to help others. His story has highlighted the needs of many other Jamaicans. Since then I have discussed with Minister Tufton the idea of having an organ bank in Jamaica. The Minister has assured me that the matter is actively under consideration. I have also had discussions with Prof. Everard Barton  and also Dr. Adedamola Soyibo at the UWI. I understand that Covid-19 has put a damper on things relating to the organ bank but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Let's continue to hope for the best for Christopher Seaga and others who have similar challenges. You support will help and to motivate our leaders to set up this bank.

There are many persons out there with challenges and many of us really have nothing to give. If you can give a listening ear, a good advice, show that you care, have love in in your heart then you have something to give.

There are good people in this country. Let us find them, support them 'big dem up' and remember that the good you do, will come back to you and so will the evil that you do. Let us play our part in ensuring that more good people have more influence in this country and that would be a good for the country. Have a good day.

All of this progress made in trying to assist Christopher Seaga has been all about good people coming together to help.
