Peter is a 70-year-old farmer from Malawi. He lives with his wife. Together they have seven children and nine grandchildren.
Since last year, Peter has been experiencing difficulty urinating and radiating pain up his torso. These symptoms are caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. He needs to undergo a prostate resection surgery, a procedure in which surgeons will remove part of the enlarged gland.
Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $733 to fund Peter’s surgery. On December 4, he will undergo prostate surgery at Nkhoma Hospital, our medical partner’s care center. The requested money pays for supplies, medications, and two weeks of hospital stay. Peter is looking forward to having this surgery so he can continue to do his favorite activities.
He says, “Thank you for this good program. We have come to be treated many times and thanks to you I am able to be seen. This is very helpful to me.”
