I Was Always the Broke Sibling, Until One Spiritual Cleansing Flipped My Financial Fate

Growing up, I was the one everyone pitied.

In every Ugandan family, there’s usually that one sibling who just can’t catch a break, who seems stuck no matter how hard they try. In our family, that sibling was me. My name is Stella, the third born in a family of five. My elder brother was already in Dubai doing business, my sister worked in government, and even my younger brother had a car before me. Me? I was the one always borrowing airtime, dodging rent, and skipping family functions because I had “a headache”  which was just code for “I’m broke again.”

I wasn’t lazy. In fact, I tried everything. I ran a small retail shop in town, started a mobile money kiosk, even did hair from home to make ends meet. But nothing ever stuck. Every time I’d get a breakthrough, something strange would happen, a fire, a robbery, a betrayal from a close friend. I started believing maybe I was cursed.

What hurt the most was how my family started treating me. At first, they were understanding. But slowly, I became the punchline. “Let’s not tell Stella about the meeting, she might not afford transport.” Or, “You know Stella is always in problems.” It was humiliating. I hated family gatherings. I’d smile, but inside, I was drowning in shame.

Then came my breaking point.

One evening, after losing my fourth business to theft, I sat on the floor of my one-room rental in tears. I hadn’t eaten. I hadn’t paid rent. And worst of all, I heard my landlady telling someone outside, “That girl has bad luck. Every tenant who stays in that room ends up ruined.” That’s when I knew I needed more than motivation, I needed deliverance.

As I scrolled hopelessly on my phone looking for loan apps, I came across a post about Kiwanga Doctors on Facebook. At first, I rolled my eyes, I’d seen those stories before and thought they were too good to be true. But something about that night felt different. I clicked on the page, started reading the testimonies, and I couldn’t stop. One after another, people shared how their lives had changed. Desperate and with nothing left to lose, I decided to send them a WhatsApp message. That was the beginning of my turning point.

Let me tell you, that one decision changed everything.

After the cleansing, something inside me felt different. It’s hard to explain, but I woke up feeling like a weight had been lifted off me. For the first time in years, I didn’t feel like I was dragging invisible chains. I reopened my salon business, this time from a small container. Clients started coming in strangers, referrals, even former classmates. Within two months, I had upgraded the place. Within six, I had two employees and was making more money than I ever had in my life.

Then came the part that nearly made me cry.

My elder brother called one day and said, “Stella, your growth is inspiring. What did you do differently?”
For a man who once avoided sitting next to me in public, this was healing.

Today, I’m not just financially stable, I’m confident. I walk into family gatherings with pride. I don’t borrow anymore. I give. I help. And people listen to me.

Sometimes, your breakthrough isn’t about working harder. Sometimes, it’s about clearing the spiritual blockages holding you back. I thought I was just unlucky. But looking back, I realize that what I needed wasn’t sympathy, it was spiritual intervention.

If you’ve tried everything, and nothing seems to work, maybe it’s not you. Maybe you just need to cleanse what can’t be seen. All I can say is, I was once the broke sibling. But today? I’m the example they use to say, “Look at how far one can come.” For consultations call Kiwanga Doctors at+254116469840 or visit their website www.kiwangadoctors.co.ke.
