A US soldier of Nigerian origin, identified as Ada, has made an emotional appeal to President Donald Trump, asking for help to bring her sick daughter from Nigeria to the United States amid ongoing visa restrictions.
In a message shared online, Ada said she was preparing to serve the country she had admired since childhood but was struggling with the painful reality of being separated from her daughter at a time when the child reportedly needs urgent attention.
“President Trump, I am on my way to serve my country. I have loved the USA since I was a child,” she said.
The soldier recalled growing up believing that America stood for compassion, hope and the protection of human life.
However, she said the situation involving her daughter has made those ideals deeply personal.
“But while I serve my country, my daughter is stuck in Nigeria because of the current visa restrictions. She is sick, and every moment matters,” Ada reportedly said.
She appealed directly to Trump, asking him to consider the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s case and help facilitate the child’s travel to the United States.
“Please help me bring my daughter to safety. I need my daughter,” she pleaded.
Ada emphasized that her request was not about politics or political differences, but about the safety and wellbeing of her child.
“This is not politics to me. This is my child’s life. God bless America,” she said.
Her appeal has attracted emotional reactions online, with many viewers expressing sympathy for the mother and urging authorities to consider humanitarian circumstances when dealing with cases involving children and serious health concerns.
The situation also highlights the difficult choices faced by military families dealing with immigration and visa restrictions, particularly when loved ones remain overseas.
For Ada, the issue is deeply personal. As she prepares to serve the United States, she is simultaneously pleading for an opportunity to have her daughter brought to safety.
Whether the appeal will lead to intervention or a review of the child’s visa situation remains unclear.
