Zayde Wisdom: Age, Early Life, And Whereabouts
Zayde Wisdom is a native of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Born on 7th July 2002 he is 20 years old. His birth was quite unforgettable for his mother.
She remembers the time she was giving birth to him, the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and the midwife was having difficulty getting him to breathe. His color changed into blue from ordinary which caused the whole household to panic.
His mother Mairri McConnell viewed that the baby had the cord wrapped around the neck is considered a symbol of good luck in many countries and that even though that thought did strike her mind she had gotten worried about the safety of the baby at the time of the childbirth; as he was struggling to breathe.
His grandmother, Kitty McConnell, who was at the house at the time has called for an ambulance to take him and his mother to the hospital for professional medical assistance, but by the time the ambulance arrived, he was able to breathe again. All thanks were paid to the midwife who managed to get that done.
The midwife later said about the incident that after everything settled down he was just destined for greatness.
Zayde was raised by a single parent, his mother. Through the majority of his childhood and his teenage years, he had to face and cope with the absence of a father figure in his life.
His mother did not have a fortune, a job, or even a steady income to look after him or to provide him with the things that he wanted and even needed while growing up.
Zayde, according to his mother, was never a child who would give up on anything. He had fought hard, and all that he has now is the result of his hard work and persistence. His mother had times in which she could not afford to fill the gas in the car to take him to Hockey practice.
Zayde Wisdom has a brother by the name of Zaccharya Wisdom. His brother is also an ice hockey player. Zayde remembers his mother going to 3 jobs at the same time and struggling to raise money to pay for both of her sons to go to practice, to be able to buy them hockey equipment and she wanted them to never miss their ice time.

He grew up in the western part of Toronto in a household that consisted mostly of women. His childhood days were spent with his mother, her mother, his grandmother, and his younger brother who he fondly refers to as Zacch.
He has opened up about the poverty-ridden life that he had in his younger days and the sad truth was that he was not aware of it until he was 13 or 14.
His mother managed to raise him until then by not letting him into the harsh realities of life. He said that when he was a kid there were times when there was no electric power supply in their house.
When he enquired his mother about the reason for that she had succeeded in convincing him that there was some kind of error in the electric line and that power was out for the whole neighborhood.
It was later in his life he got to know that there was no power because his family could not afford to pay the electric bill.
He had said that when his mother told him the truth he felt immense love and pride for her because she had been suffering to give him and Zaach the good things she could. He can still see in front of him the moments when he felt that his life was taking a major turn.
As a kid he was underfed and he worried a lot about his next meal. He in an interview said about his mother that she had undertaken the job of driving a tow truck at late night and dawn.
He said that he still thinks of the days in which she would wake him and his younger brother super early in the morning at around 3:30 or 4 and would dress them up in school uniforms carry them to the truck and they would sleep in the truck.
After her driving job, she would drop them at school at 7:30 or 8 in the morning and she would return back to her work. He said that without her he would have never reached anywhere and her struggles were his driving force to reach heights. He said that even in the midst of all this she still found time to see them play.
