Two years ago, I was working as a cashier in a small supermarket in Mbale, Uganda. My salary was just enough to cover rent, food, and a few personal expenses. Every day, I would watch cars pass by on the road outside, and I would dream of the day I could own one. I imagined the freedom of not having to wait for taxis or boda bodas, of taking my mother to church on Sundays without worrying about transport money. But owning a car felt like a dream for other people not for someone like me.
I had tried to save money, but something always came up. My younger brother needed school fees, my roof was leaking, or I had to help a friend in need. By the end of each month, my savings were back to zero. I had even thought about taking a loan, but the interest rates were too high, and I was afraid of getting into debt I couldn’t pay. I started to believe that maybe my dream of buying a car would never come true.
One evening, I was having tea with a workmate named Sarah. She had just come back from visiting her aunt in Kenya and told me a story that caught my attention. Her aunt had been going through many problems a failing business, debts, and family misunderstandings but then she got help from a group known as Shaba Mangube Doctors. Sarah told me they had a way of helping people change their situations, even if they were far away and never met in person. She said her aunt’s business had started doing well again, and she was now debt-free. I was curious, so I asked Sarah how I could reach them. She wrote a phone number on a napkin: +254795613711.
I kept that napkin in my handbag for weeks, unsure if I should call. It sounded too good to be true. But one rainy afternoon, after yet another taxi breakdown on my way home from work, I decided to take a chance. When I called, I was welcomed warmly. I explained my struggles and my wish to finally own a car. They listened patiently and told me they could help. What surprised me was that they didn’t ask me to travel anywhere; they said they could work from where they were, and I would still see results.
They gave me some instructions and told me to believe in the process. I followed every step carefully. For the first few days, I didn’t notice much change, but then small things began to happen. My supermarket manager unexpectedly promoted me to supervisor, which came with a salary increase. Around the same time, a relative I hadn’t spoken to in years called to return money he had borrowed from me long ago. It felt like doors were opening one after another.
Within two months, I had saved more money than I ever thought possible. I also received a small inheritance from my late grandfather’s estate, something that had been delayed for years due to family disagreements. Suddenly, I had enough money to start looking for a car. I remember the day I went to the dealership in Kampala, the smell of new interiors, the shine of polished paint. I chose a used Toyota Corolla that was in excellent condition. When I held the keys in my hand for the first time, I felt tears in my eyes.
Owning that car changed my life completely. I could get to work on time, take my mother to hospital without worrying about transport, and even start a small weekend taxi service to earn extra income. People who used to see me struggling now ask me how I managed to turn my life around. I tell them my story honestly about the day I decided to call +254795613711 and how that call changed everything.
Even now, when I face challenges, I still reach out to Shaba Mangube Doctors. They have helped me with other issues in my life, and I have seen friends benefit too. One of my neighbors was able to get the money to renovate her shop, and another managed to fix long-standing family conflicts. What I appreciate most is that you don’t have to travel to see them; they can help you no matter where you are.
Looking back, I realize that sometimes life gives us opportunities in unexpected ways. All it takes is the courage to take the first step. If you are struggling whether with money, relationships, or other personal goals my advice is not to give up. Help can come from places you never imagined. For me, that help came from a phone number on a napkin, a story from a friend, and a decision to try something different.

Today, I drive my Toyota Corolla with pride, knowing that my journey from dreaming to owning it was filled with challenges, hope, and unexpected blessings. And whenever I park it outside my home in Mbale, I remember the rainy day I made that call and how it led me to a new chapter in my life.
