Kyomukama is a small business woman operating a hair dressing business and also doing some small-scale farming. She’s a single mother with one child. Her husband passed away when she was six months pregnant, and she moved back in with her parents to help raise her child.
For the past three years, Kyomukama has been experiencing troubling symptoms and now has been diagnosed with uterine myoma. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Kyomukama’s surgery. On May 11th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Once recovered, Kyomukama will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Kyomukama says, “I hope to regain my health back to normal after my surgery. I will continue with hairdressing and farming once I have fully recovered.”
