Angelica is a hard-working young mom with a three-year-old son. She and her partner work in construction, earning just enough to support their daily needs.
Angelica was diagnosed with external hemorrhoids. Because of her financial situation, even though she experiences pain, she is not able to get the medical care she needs to heal. Fortunately, Angelica is scheduled to undergo surgery to treat her condition on March 5th. Our medical partner, World Surgical Foundation Philippines, is requesting $1,163 to cover the total cost of Angelica’s procedure and care.
After her recovery, Angelica will no longer experience severe pain and other complications in the future.
“I want to be able to take care of my child without worrying about my condition,” Angelica explained. “I am fortunate to have been referred for surgery with World Surgical Foundation Philippines and Watsi; without them, I’m not sure where we would be able to get help for my treatment.”
