38-year-old Rahila is happily married with two children. She works with her husband in Nigeria who trades food and other goods to meet their daily needs and support their children.
Rahila is currently pregnant with her third child, and our medical partner, Hope for West Africa (HFWA) has determined that the pregnancy is high-risk. She needs a cesarian section (C-section) to ensure a safe and healthy delivery.
“We can not afford the money for the C-section,” Rahila shares. “We will be glad if anyone can assist us with the cost. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have a chance.”
$1,500 will cover the cost of Rahila’s procedure, which will take place at the Jos University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria. Rahila’s baby is due in late January.
“After the C-section, and on full recovery, she can go back to having a normal life,” says HFWA.
