Yar is a 40-year-old woman from Burma. She is unemployed and lives with her 70-year-old father.
After experiencing severe stomach pains, Yar recently underwent abdominal surgery at a local hospital. A few days into recovery, she noticed that her incision did not appear to be healing properly. She returned to the hospital, where they discovered that her intestine was protruding through the wound.
On July 19, surgeons will operate on Yar’s abdomen to address the improperly healing wound. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, requests $1,500 to cover her treatment. In the future, Yar looks forward to recovering and regaining independence. “I hope to raise pigs and chickens for a source of income once I am recovered,” she says.
