Leah is a proud mother of six-year-old twins. Leah and her husband are casual laborers who earn a daily wage from manual labor.
Leah has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Without treatment, the cancer may spread to other organs. A mastectomy, a surgery to remove breast tissue, has been suggested to remove the breast cancer and to prevent the cancer from metastasizing.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $857 to cover the cost of a mastectomy for Leah. The procedure is scheduled to take place on August 20th. After treatment, Leah will hopefully return to a cancer-free life.
In disbelief, Leah says, “This came as a shock to me, I was not financially prepared and the cost of the surgery is too high for me to afford. I need this surgery to fight this cancer and raise my beautiful twins”.
