Judy Sango, the little girl from Portsmouth who dreams of becoming a judge but is suffering from a severe disability in her leg, is expected to undergo surgery at the Princess Margaret Hospital on Wednesday.
She was admitted to the facility on Tuesday.
The surgery is expected to lengthen the veins in her legs.
Judy has been unable to attend school since last Monday as her legs have been locking up, rendering her totally immobile.
She is suffering from damage to one of her legs due to deprivation of oxygen at birth.
The 11-year-old was first featured on Dominica News Online in March when Drinnon Nyerere, an aspiring documentary film maker and Founder of InsidePossie Children of Grace Foundation Inc, decided to make a documentary on Judy’s life.
He hopes funds raised from the documentary will go towards rectifying the problem in her leg.
Speaking to Dominica News Online on Wednesday Nyerere said the surgery at the hospital is being done for free but doctors have determined Judy is going to need hip surgery.
To defray the cost of the surgery Nyerere and the InsidePossie Children of Grace Foundation Inc have started a fund raising drive to assist Judy.
He hopes to make the dreams of the little girl who wants to be a judge come true.
Below is the information for those who want to assist.

So much negativity where the hospital is concerned. I don’t think they would attempt this at the PMH if they were not sure what they were doing? All the best to you my dear child hope this will be the start to a wonderful recovery for you. Jehovah’s guidance be upon you and all the doctors who now have you in their hands.
you are a god bless child ill pray for you everyday,can’t wait to see you one day i actually cry when you say you wanted to be just like everyone else.love you dear child
Godspeed Judy. You have such I bright spirit. I love in the video how you say you are “normal” with such conviction. Your confidence in self will take you very far in live. Keep reaching for the stars!!!!
Just claim healing for Judy and stop being negative, God is the same God of Yesterday, today and forever. Nothing is impossible with God.
May the good Lord cover you Judy with his precious blood also the surgeons involve and everything will be alright.
Instead for us to talk and pray positivly that all goes well we just so negative. im in DA a few yrs now and all im hearing from you guys is down talking everything thats going on. the child is in Gods hands, no! GODS MIGHTY HANDS.to all of you who tumbs down for prays that were posted i hope God deals with you all. you all are a wicked generation.
judy is a sweet child the way she speck helps you no what kind of child she is . I wish u well and i no that u a going to be fine u a on this earth for a very special reason darling and u will see it very soon DOMINICA SHE NEEDS US give a helping hand
I pray that the surgery goes well…
Wish all is well with her,.. And people keep on praying for this little baby girl she could have be our daughter , lil sister
so please stop away the negative
I AM APREHENSIVE OF THIS EXPERIMENTATION OF THIS
PROMISING, AMBITIOUS LITTLE GIRL HAVING THIS OPERATION IN DOMINICA. DO THEY HAVE THAT EXPERTISE
IN THE COUNTRY? I WILL BE SAYING A PRAY FOR THIS LOVELY LITTLE GIRL THAT EVERYTHING WILL WORK FOR THE GOOD IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. I KNOW THAT MANY DOCTORS LIKE TO EXPERIMENT ON THE LESS FORTUNATES
IN THE NAME OF REGOGNITION. I PRAY AND HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE HERE.
Best wishes to that little girl but in another note… can you all stop being so pessimistic. Dominica like everywhere else has its faults.There might not be the proper equipment to do certain procedures but it gives you all no right to be looking down on your country like that. As a Registered Nurse in the US i know that America make mistakes and have caused the death of many people with all the well educated medical Doctors that are there. If the Doctor could not do the surgery he would not take the chance. So be more optimistic people.You all should go study medicine so that Dominica can have better Doctors and nurses if you all are so critical.
we dominicans are so negative. instead of giving thanks and praise and hhope that all goes well, there is a negative talk. why all the negative people don’t donate the money for the surgery else where. Mishap happens in the big country as well. In surgery is always a fifty, fifty chance. With surger you never now what you may find. Lets just pray that everything work out for the best for the young lady, we like to cry our people down to fast and when we leave and go other place and our love ones pass we say something else. Nice of the doctors doing the surgery for free. May the mighty hand of the almighty streched on them and this little girl. Amen
My dear Judy. I am going to be praying for you and the doctors who will be performing your surgery. May our Father grant you the faith and courage to endure this period in your life.
mostly everybody here saying dont do operation do it in america or else where but i am yet to hear any talking about making ciontributions
wishing you all the best, and the surgery is a success. may the lord help you and protect you
in his name we pray amen.
Oh yea of little faith
I hope God guide the hands of all those involved in the surgery..Please God a miracle for this little angel Dear Lord maybe I’m a fool to believe in my own people but so help me I have faith in them.
America makes mistakes too they are not perfect
I really don’t think that Dominica is the right place to do this operation. this place have a record of doing more harm than good,for God sake can people come together and help this little girl go to Guadeloup or even America,am truly afraid for this little child,I feel she might never live her dreams.this people don’t know a thing. you go the the hospital for a headache or even chest pain and they can even help you please.may God help this little angel.
why you so negative. dem it men!
can some once positive come out from you all mouth.
Sandy Thompson,
I sincerely hope you do not reside in Dominica and will never fall ill on this island where you will be required to go to PMH. Since you seem to have issue as to where the surgery should be done, why don’t you take the initiative and finance fully the cost of her surgery overseas as you suggest?
In pmh really? R.I.P little girl
That’s soo cold of you. Do you know the meaning of empathy? if not please look it up because you need some
shatta RIP.
I hope you dont have family and children neither. Maybe animals you caring for. This comment hurts. RIP back to you.
Go with God….you will need it my friend!
Definetly not de best place to carry out dis surgery. Do we av vascular surgeons in DA?
Then why dont you find the best place for her or better yet, get the vascular surgeon.
God has already destined for everything to go well! God’s guidance and protection judy.
Am happy for her but hmmm Dominica? Just saying
My dear Judy you are bless! Be strong in the Lord.
My concerns are this surgery needs to be done by a
pediatric orthopedic. Why wasn’t a referral done for you to have this surgery out of the island.
When a child needs orthopaedic surgery or a diagnostic procedure, Miami Children’s Hospital has pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, pediatric radiologists, and pediatric anesthesiologists who specialize exclusively in the care of children. This creates an environment that is comfortable and safe for your child. Proper care and treatment adds longer life to your health. Some of the things that are look for:-
Limb deformities and limb length discrepancies
Hip disorders (hip dysplasia, Perthes disease)
Rehabilitation:
OUTPATIENT PROCEDURES:- MOTION EXERCISES
The initial focus is to regain full extension (the ability to fully straighten) of the knee. In general, flexion (ability to bend) is much easier to regain than extension. In general, flexion (ability to bend) is much easier to regain than extension.

May god guide and protect you.
Judy Sango, in the name of “Jesus”, who died on the cross for you, and took this very condition away from you then, therefore, it is gone now. The Lord, now blesses your legs, that they are supernaturely healed. You will now grow up, to fulfill God’s original plans and purposes, for which you were born. Write your dream done, and see it manifest in the future.
Once again, you are blessed of the Lord,for you were fairly, and wonderfully made. Psalms 139:14.
Our thoughts are with you, Judy!
my prayers are with her
Yea this made my day Thank you Jesus. Pray for good success for you my darling, may Almighty God guide the doctors throughout the procedure. Yea again.
Can you all set up a PAYPAL account so people like me in the diaspora can help as well. Thanks
God love all his children my prayers and thoughts are with her family may the surgery be a successful one in jesus name Amen.
“Such surgery cannot be done in Dominica and they not cheap”?
I would strongly advise her mother to seek medical assistance else where not at PMH, they are going to further ruin this young lady’s life. Please do not do this surgery in DCA.
please stop ur negativity
Wait your turn. Hope you will take that advise for yourself if/when the time comes.
Instead of saying a prayer for a successful operation, you’re being negative.
We may not be the best. and yes, our hospital is not top notch, but we have surgeons who are as good as any surgeon in top notch hospitals. Quite a few lives have been saved here, so get off it and be more positive.
Better yet, sponsor this child and her mother in full for surgery overseas where her life will not be ruined further as you put it….
Hope Your Surgery Is Sucessfull..
I pray god protect her through that procedure. Blessings Love
I hope everything goes good for her in God Name.I also think that the Governemnt or any other institution should look into giving her a new home.
We always boast about every child needs an eduction,YES! but they also need an area condusive for learning where most of their time is spent.
I HOPE SHE WILL COME OUT ON HER TWO FEET WITHOUT ANY ” SURGERY COMPLICATION”.
you could say it without being sacastic !
I hope she NEVER has to see the colour of the ICU at the PMH. God Bless You Judy and all the best.
