We visited seven-year-old Christian and met his mother, who was grieving. She shared more about her son’s life and the challenges he faced due to disabilities since birth. One pressing concern was Christian’s education, as financial strain threatened to force him out of school. It wasn’t due to a lack of willingness to pay for his school fees, but rather a lack of financial means.

Prior to the pandemic, we had planned to visit Christian’s school and engage with the administration, who continued to press for payment despite our financial constraints. With the school reopening, it seemed inevitable that our son would have to withdraw due to our inability to afford the fees.

We shared this story, and many of you contributed to making this young boy’s dream come true. Here’s the update:

“The very least you can do in life is to figure out what you hope for, and the most you can do is to live inside that hope, not admire it from a distance, but live right in it, under its roof. Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope too can be given to one only by other human beings.”

Since your visit, everything has changed. I questioned whether you were people or angels in human form because life has never been the same since that day. Following your visit, I received support from many kind-hearted people. Phone calls started pouring in from individuals concerned about my son, Christian. They sent money, and now we have food, porridge, milk, fruits, and vegetables. All of this is thanks to you. If you hadn’t shown up and shared my life story, life wouldn’t be as it is now. I thank you so much; you are truly a blessing.

I am touched by the love of the people who follow your channel. They are kind and generous, offering support without even knowing me, just upon hearing that I’m facing some life challenges. I am truly grateful.

A doctor, after hearing my story, traveled all the way from Kigali city to this remote village, passing through valleys and mountains, just to see my son and explore how he could help. Following these events, we have a message for you:

“This is for you from Afrimax English. You can find everything in this bag; it’s all for you. These are people who watch our different stories, and they chose to help you. They vowed to change your life and your boy’s life completely. They kept donating until we had this amount of money to hand over to you.”

I am at a loss for words; I don’t know what to say. I can’t believe my eyes. I can’t thank these people enough, but may God bless them a thousand times. This is unbelievable. I wish I could see them so I could hug them all. You know, I had a problem regarding Christian’s education, but among those people with kind hearts, one of them came forward and said he would pay for my son’s school fees forever. Don’t you think you are messengers of God? That person said he would handle everything related to my boy’s education, including school fees, school requirements, and even visiting days. That’s what he said.

With this amount of money, I don’t know if I mentioned last time that we had no house and had to pay rent here. What we are going to do is buy a new house. We have always had the burden of finding a house while struggling to pay rent because we have no jobs. But now our prayer request is answered. There is a house for sale, and the owner is requesting 5 million Rwandan Francs. I’m thankful that I now have 3 million Rwandan Francs in cash. I hope God will provide the remaining 2 million. I will contact the person and try to book that house. If they agree to take this 3 million and wait for the remaining 2 million, I’ll do my best to convince the owner.

I believe that just as you came and helped us out of nowhere, God will provide again because He gives us more than we ask for. I never knew you would come back with such a large amount of money. I have never owned such a large sum of money, and this proves that God never fails us. He provides at the right moment. I hope He will do the rest. Once again, thank you from the depths of my heart to you and the entire Afrimax team for taking the time to visit these remote areas where we don’t even have phones or a way to communicate. You come here, visit, and cover these life-changing stories. When I first saw you, I thought you just wanted content for your channel, but I never thought it would end up this way. I thank these people with kind hearts who obey God’s command, which is love. I don’t know these people, I can’t see them, but I thank each and every one who had me and my son in mind, who donated and made this possible. I send blessings upon their lives. Tell them that I am truly happy, and may God continue to bless them. In fact, I wish them a life beyond this life. If I saw them right now, I would hug them and lift them up out of happiness in my heart.

My boy Christian will continue his studies at the same school. I won’t change his school because he’s used to it, familiar with everyone there, and adapting to another school may take time, which I don’t want.

What can you tell other parents with disabled children who are facing difficulties in raising their children and have lost hope? What message can you give them?

I can tell them to pray to God and give Him their prayer requests, then wait patiently for God to answer them. I had my own problems and prayed, saying to God, “You created my son; please, God, you know what is right for him.” That’s how I prayed, and God worked through people. I urge them to turn to God and pray. After a while, God will satisfy their needs.

I was worried about the house, but honestly, I never thought it would be possible. I thought I was deceiving myself, but God saw that I needed a house and used your people to help. Last time, I had a heart full of lamentations, and I couldn’t even smile, but now I’m very happy because of today’s message. Words can’t even express my happiness. If God continues to bless me, I’ll get some capital and establish a small business. I plan to own a shop that will sell different products to change my life completely because, although my son has improved, and we’re about to buy our own house, we will still need food, clothing, and other things to survive.

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. And keep your habits positive.
