Club Foot Surgery

My son was born with a club foot. He had surgery when he was 1 month old and was always wearing a cast, changing it every 2 weeks and putting another one on for months. Then we did another bigger surgery at 9 months so that he could walk well like other kids. This was my only worry at the time, that he wouldn’t be able to run and play like other kids. The surgery went well and it looked like the doctor did a good job, but he didn’t, because his foot turned again through the years and went back to its original state, so he was walking on the side of his foot and always falling when running, unable to wear normal shoes.

Then I asked God where do I go now, because the best orthopaedic in the country didn’t do the job well, not only on my son but on many other kids who all faced the same problem; their foot would go back to the inside. So it made the first surgery pointless. I didn’t know where to go, but I only put his life in God’s hands because I had no solution.

One day we were at the supermarket, and a lady from France approached us and said to me, “I saw your son running and wearing medical shoes so I guess he has a club foot”. I found out that she had just come to Mauritius and she and her team are specialised in paediatric orthopaedics, and have treated a hundred cases with little kids and babies. But my son was 6 already, and at this age his bones were not soft and easily malleable. But I knew that God wouldn’t give hope without the intention of doing it right once and for all; God doesn’t go halfway ever. When we met the doctor from France, he said he would give it a try and had to break his bone and put the foot back in its right position.

It would cost us a lot of money to do the surgery that we didn’t have at that time. Because of Covid, my business wasn’t flourishing, but God sustained me. I saw a lot of businesses around me closing, but I was the only one who stood strong by a total miracle again.

Coming back to the surgery, we had no money, but the nice ladies found a way through a support system that sponsors children that are sick, etc., and they sponsored 3/4 of it. And the 1/4 of the money left that we needed, our families and friends blessed us through a fundraising and we got more than required for his surgery and were able to help another kid with the same situation too. They were surgery buddies. And these ladies at the supermarket knew Jesus too, they were angels that God sent to help us totally from A to Z: the money, the support, the love for kids and the kindness.

And today my son runs and wears normal shoes and his foot is totally normal. When God does something, he doesn’t do it halfway and he gives the best doctors, treatments, clinics and support system. He always comes through, just believe and you’ll see.

I was healed from stage IV cancer

In late 2024, after months of severe coughing and sudden intense rib pain, I was admitted to hospital following abnormal chest X-rays. After multiple tests, biopsies, and scans, I was diagnosed with Stage IV lymphoma that had spread to my lungs, liver, spleen, neck and bone marrow.

The diagnosis shocked everyone because I showed very few symptoms. During this time, God strengthened my faith through prophecies and experiences I had, reminding me that He still had a purpose for my life. Even in confusion and fear, I held onto His promises and trusted that this sickness would not define my future.

As I struggled emotionally, God revealed to me Psalms 51:17: “Restore to me the joy of your salvation” I came to Him with a broken spirit, hurting and searching for strength beyond my own, relying on the joy of the Lord to sustain me (Nehemiah 8:10). I had to make a choice: either sit in the reality of my diagnosis or have bold faith in God’s promises, believing that He had plans for my life, plans of hope and not harm.

I began chemotherapy in March, preparing myself for severe side effects and a long treatment journey. Although losing my hair was one of the hardest moments emotionally, God continually sustained me through His Word, prayer, worship, and ministry. I chose to walk by faith instead of fear.

After only one month of chemotherapy and two treatment cycles, a PET scan revealed that I was completely cancer free and in remission from Stage IV cancer. Even the doctors were amazed by the speed of my recovery considering how advanced the cancer had been.

Throughout the process, God protected me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Many expected difficult side effects, but aside from minor complications during the first cycle, my body remained strong. On June 4th, I completed chemotherapy fully healed and free.

This journey became a testimony of God’s faithfulness, healing, and glory, proof that He never abandoned me and that His promises remain true even in the middle of impossible situations.
