What makes her story so touching is the fact that she was one of only two survivors on that plane.
She was a student of Loyola Jesuit College at the time, a boarding high school in Abuja and was on her way home for the holidays when the crash occured.
She was once quoted to have said, “I remember just saying I don’t know, but I think we should pray or something, I don’t know. We actually never got a chance. That’s the last memory I have before I blacked out.”
The next thing I knew, I was waking up in Milpark Hospital, South Africa. To this day I don’t remember the actual impact of the crash.
Kelechi has had more than 100 surgeries, including skin grafts in the US as a result of the severe burns which had all over her body.
Doctors placed pins to support her hands but this didn’t stop her from reaching for greatness.
