“My Stepmother Bewitched Me, I Fell Gravely Ill and Doctors Almost Amputated My Legs Until This Saved Me,” Zambian Girl Shares

My name is Chipo, and I come from Lusaka, Zambia. I grew up with my father and stepmother after my mother passed away when I was very young. Life with my stepmother was never easy. She often treated me differently from her own children, but I tried to stay respectful because she was my father’s wife. I never imagined that one day she would become the reason I nearly lost my life.

It began when I developed a strange illness. My legs started swelling and burning with intense pain. At first, I thought it was just an infection or a minor sickness, but it rapidly worsened. I could hardly walk, and the pain became unbearable. My father rushed me to the hospital, and despite the doctors’ efforts, there was no improvement. The swelling continued until the doctors warned my father that if things didn’t change, they might have to amputate both my legs to save my life.TO READ MORE, TAP HERE
