Meet Margaret, a 55-year-old married grandmother from Kenya. She enjoys staying at home and looking after her grandchildren.
About one year ago, Margaret noticed a lump on her left breast. As it was not painful at the time, she was not concerned about it. Margaret recently visited our medical partner’s care center, AIC Kijabe Hospital, to seek treatment for the pain. A biopsy was subsequently performed and doctors diagnosed Margaret with breast cancer. Margaret has been recommended for a mastectomy to remove the cancerous cells and prevent them from spreading to other parts of her body. This will take place on August 21.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is asking for $816 to help pay for Margaret’s life-saving surgery.
“Even if I worry, I know that I cannot change much. So I choose to rely on God and Watsi’s donors,” says Margaret.
