Justine is 28-year-old pregnant woman from Uganda. She lives with her husband and daughter in a small village about 30km from the hospital. Justine works as a subsistence farmer growing food for her family’s consumption on rented land. She also is a farm laborer and picks tea in plantations.
Justine enjoys life playing with her three-year-old daughter and is looking forward to having another child. When she is not working, Justine enjoys socializing with neighbors and going to church. She makes dolls from banana fibers for her daughter to play with.
Justine has several complications that indicate it is highly likely she will need a C-section to have a safe delivery. She delivered her daughter by C-section and has lost a previous pregnancy due to abstracted labor.
$258 will cover the cost of the C-section Justine needs to safely deliver her baby. When her baby boy arrives she would like to call him “Wealthiest,” take him to school, and hope that he will “get rich to change their story.”
Justine would like to thank all the donors and hopes that they continue to help others.
