Alfred is farmer from Malawi. Alfred owns a small farm with his family, and he also sells coconuts and raises chickens to supplement the family income. In his free time, he likes to attend his mosque and spend time with his wife and their eight children.
For eight months, Alfred has been experiencing pain and urinary difficulty. 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 Alfred’s surgery. On February 6, 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. Alfred and his family were thrilled to find out his surgery would be funded. The cost was more than the family could afford. Alfred is looking forward to going home and again farming and tending his animals.
He says, “I am very thankful and may God bless you.”
