Consiira is a beautiful 32-year-old lady. Consiira is married with no child, which she believes is due to her condition. Her husband is a small-scale farmer, and she as well, but they only cultivate for food production without surplus for sale. Two years ago, Consiira began to experience troubling symptoms, including neck swelling. The swelling has subjected her to chest pain and easy fatiguability despite small activities. She experiences shortness of breath, difficulty in swallowing, and discomfort. She reports having started changing moods from time to time, affecting her happiness. If not treated, she will have airway obstruction, affecting her life and posing a threatening emergency. Consiira has not had medical consultation due to a lack of money until she felt the condition was progressing. Finally, she came to Nyakibake Hospital where test were done. She was diagnosed with thyroid goiter. The thyroid is the gland located in front of your neck and produces thyroid hormones. These hormones are responsible for functions such as metabolism, growth and other bodily functions. She needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse. They cannot afford the costs of this surgery, thus appealing to donors to support her surgery for an improved quality of life and good health. They hope that after undergoing this surgery, she may be able to have her fertility return and deliver a baby. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Consiira receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on December 5th at Karoli Lwanga Hospital. Surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. This procedure will cost $252, and she and her family need help raising money. Consiira says, “This condition has made me suffer but hope to rejoice after surgery under your support. I hope to conceive a baby so that we can grow our family."
