Overview

'From the moment I received the call about Cathy-a young girl in excruciating pain with nowhere else to turn-my life was forever changed. When I arrived at the hospital to pick her up, the scene was heartbreaking. Cathy was in agony, unable to bend her legs or back due to the enormous tumour that had consumed her entire back. The nurses who had cared for her were in tears, overwhelmed by the suffering she endured. We tried to fit her into a small car, but it was impossible. Eventually, we arranged for an ambulance, not realizing that this moment would mark the beginning of an incredible journey.'Cathy's resilience, faith, and unwavering spirit throughout her battle were nothing short of extraordinary. The strength she carried-despite the pain, the struggles, and the uncertainty-was never about our faith in her; it was about the faith she had in herself. She believed, even in her darkest moments, that she would one day overcome, that she would sit and share her story. And today, she does just that.'For anyone in need of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement, Cathy's story is one that will move you deeply. Her journey is a testament to faith, courage, and the power of hope. This book is not just a story - it's a life-changing experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it, as it has profoundly touched my own life, and I have no doubt it will do the same for you.'Brian Walusimbi

Catherine's heartfelt message is captivating - it's an eye-opening tale that highlights the power of hope, faith, and the unbreakable human spirit. Her extraordinary journey of overcoming despair provides strength to the weakhearted and those who may feel hopeless, reminding them that resilience can lead to a brighter future. A truly inspiring story of perseverance. - HRH Queen Sylvia Nagginda Luswata Nnaabagereka Buganda Kingdom, Uganda I will never forget the day when, on the way to the airport leaving Uganda, I quite randomly met Cathy and her mom at the Bless A Child Foundation where she had been living for some time. It was immediately obvious to me that Cathy had made the very best of her situation but also obvious to me that Texas Children's Hospital might hold the key to changing her life forever! With the incredible help of countless doctors, nurses, physical therapists, child life workers and others - as well as the support of the Texas Children's Charity Care Program - Cathy's miracle came true! And as a result, she is now able to inspire and support others facing incredibly difficult odds as she is a true success story! - Dr ZoAnn DreyerIt has been an honour to get to know Cathy. She is a truly inspiring individual. Cathy had a long recovery that kept her in the hospital for many months. During this time, I got to know her well. She had many challenges that required her to find strength in herself to overcome these obstacles. She always maintained a positive attitude. After more than half a year, she was able to return home to Uganda. I know she will continue to do well in the years to come. - Dr Jed Gregory Nuchtern, Cathy's surgeonI had the opportunity to get to know Catherine in 2017. I was in Uganda for a month to see the work of the hospice. I was very impressed by everything the hospice does. We visited Catherine during one of the many home visits. It was a sunny day as usual and we drove through the dry streets to the house where Catherine lay. On the way, the hospice staff told me a little about Catherine and her case. The stories were already sad, but when I visited Catherine in her room, the sadness towards her fate increased even more. While the sun was shining outside, Catherine, 15 years old at the time, was lying on her stomach in a metal bed in her room. The huge tumour did not allow her to turn onto her back. I wondered how she got through each day here. It was a terrible sight and I felt so incredibly sorry for Catherine. From what she said, she wasn't even able to leave the building to at least enjoy the beautiful weather in the courtyard. I knew immediately that I had to do something. I immediately called a few friends in Germany and told them about the case. At the same time, I phoned a joinery in Dortmund. I wanted to help and I wanted to have a stretcher built for Catherine.Through her case, I have seen what it means to help together. That's why we founded a non-profit organization after our experience with Catherine. http: //www.weitsicht-hilft.com We help people who need help and work together. Thank you for all that we were able to experience with you and thank you for what our future together will bring.- Alf Skolik
