Born in July 2024, Tisetso’s journey began with an unexpected diagnosis of clubfoot at her 3-day check-up. Her mom, Lebo Mashishi, was heartbroken and overwhelmed, blaming herself for something she couldn’t control. Everything changed when they walked into Steve Biko Hospital’s Clubfoot Clinic in Pretoria.
With reassurance and care from the incredible nurses and doctors, Lebo found hope. Today, after six casts, Tisetso is making amazing progress!
“It’s not always easy,” Lebo shares. “There were tough moments when Tisetso cried, and I didn’t know why. But I reminded myself that this is treatable, and I had to stay strong for her. Keep praying, trust the process, and follow the doctors’ instructions—your baby will have straight feet.”
Thanks to the love and expertise of her care team and STEPS, Lebo feels supported every step of the way. Tisetso is now on the path to a bright, active future—and her story is proof that strength, love, and hope can overcome any challenge!
Let’s celebrate Tisetso and all the #ClubfootChampions out there. Together, we’re transforming lives one step at a time!
