A Mother’s Hope, A Child’s Miracle – Gerald’s Story

“I remember those early days,” his mom, Febby, told us. “Gerald couldn’t sit, he couldn’t stand or walk, and it broke my heart.”

Gerald was born with cerebral palsy. Febby longed to help her son, but money was scarce and access to medical care was out of reach. Still, she prayed constantly for Gerald’s healing and his future.

Then, Febby heard about physiotherapy services at Hope and Healing’s partner hospital. She began to hope for a miracle. Slowly, with each therapy session, Gerald began to gain his strength and coordination.

The real breakthrough came next... a walker—shipped by Hope and Healing supporters like you—arrived at the hospital. “The walker has made such a difference in his life. Without it, I don’t think he’d be where he is today,” says Febby. “Every step he takes is a blessing.”
