Gumisiriza is a young student from Uganda. He is studying in primary two and has five siblings, but he is the youngest. All his siblings are in school too. His parents practice small-scale farming.
Gumisiriza started experiencing a painless swelling on the axilla region of his armpit last year. But it is increasing in size and now causes pain and discomfort.
Gumisiriza traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On August 18, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Gumisiriza needs help to raise $196 to fund this procedure.
Gumisiriza’s mother says, “I will live happily when my son no longer has this condition and he continues with schooling since he is bright in class and I too can continue with farming to take care of the family.”
