72-year-old Grey lives in Malawi, and his life has been interrupted by the painful symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Because of his condition, Grey couldn’t participate in the recent farming season, bringing food insecurity to his family.
Grey supports his family as a subsistence farmer in Malawi. With his eight children and 14 grandchildren, being able to tend to his crops is incredibly important.
To treat his condition and let him return to his daily life, Grey needs a prostate resection surgery to remove a part of his prostate and let him life without pain. The procedure costs $742 and Grey and his family are looking forward to the success of the operation, because he has suffered for so long.
“Once the operation is done I will be a hopeful person and a happy person,” Grey shares. “It has been a downfall in everything I do because of the situation.”

Before Grey’s surgery, he was using a catheter and experiencing symptoms associated with his enlarged prostate that made it difficult for him to work on the farm and provide for his family. Now that he has had a successful prostatectomy, he is expected to make a full recovery and no longer require use of a catheter.
