Dorcus is a 27-year-old woman from Uganda. She previously worked in a primary school, but due to her deteriorating health, she left her job and now does some small-scale farming. Her husband is currently pursuing a Diploma in Education, and their finances as stretched at the moment. About six years ago, Dorcus began to experience troubling symptoms, including a painful mass in a sensitive area. Initially, the pain would come and go, but this year, it became persistent, and the mass increased in size. Her condition has become increasingly distressing, making it difficult for her to use the bathroom, walk, or sit comfortably. Dorcus sought medical treatment at Uganda Martyr's Ibanda Hospital, and was diagnosed with hemorrhoids. She needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse. Our medical partner African Mission Healthcare is helping Dorcus receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a hemorrhoidectomy on October 15th, where surgeons will remove her hemorrhoids.

Dorcus shared, “I am grateful to the medical team at Ibanda Hospital for the warm reception and care they have given me. I am hopeful that I will undergo a successful surgery and recover from my condition. After recovering from the surgery, I will look for a job and resume teaching to support myself and my family.”

Margret is a 54-year-old mother of three children from Uganda. She lost her husband in 2005 and has since been the primary provider for her family. Despite the many challenges she has faced over the years, she continues to work hard to support her children through small-scale bean farming. For the past three years, Margret has been experiencing uncomfortable gynecological symptoms which have made day-to-day activities very difficult. After seeing a gynaecologist, she was diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse and will need a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $256 to fund Margret's surgery. On October 20th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at Uganda Martyr's Ibanda Hospital. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully alleviate her symptoms. “I thank God for enabling me to come to Ibanda Hospital to seek treatment. I hope I will recover well after the operation.

On October 14th, she came to our medical partner's care center, Uganda Martyr's Ibanda Hospital, with swelling and discomfort around her umbilical region. To treat this, Peace will need hernia repair surgery. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $201 to fund Peace's surgery scheduled on October 21st. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably. Peace says, “I am grateful to God for the services offered at Ibanda Hospital.

Bonny is a 46-year-old woman from Uganda. She is the third-born of 10, a mother, and lost both her parents earlier this year. After separating from her husband, she returned to her parents' home, where she has continued to rebuild her life despite the challenges she's faced. Bonny completed sixth grade but was unable to continue her education due to a lack of funding. She later acquired tailoring skills, hoping to use them to earn an income and become financially independent. Unfortunately, she rarely receives customers in her village, making it difficult for her to generate enough income to meet her daily needs. For approximately ten years, Bonny has had an umbilical hernia. Initially, she experienced intermittent pain; however, since the beginning of October, 2026, the pain has become persistent, causing her discomfort when she walks, sits, and sleeps. As the pain continued to worsen, Bonny sought treatment at the nearest clinic in an attempt to relieve her discomfort. Unfortunately, her condition did not improve. When the pain became unbearable, her sister advised her to seek specialized care at our medical partner's care center, Uganda Martyr's Ibanda Hospital. On October 27th, Bonny will undergo hernia repair surgery, and our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $201 to fund Bonny's surgery. This procedure will allow her to be able to carry out her work and daily activities with less pain and discomfort. Bonny says, "I am very grateful to the medical team at Ibanda Hospital for the good reception and encouraging words that my operation will be successful; however, I do not have money for the operation. I request the donor program to support my surgery. After recovering from the surgery, I will continue tailoring and practicing farming to support my child."

Stella is a 52-year-old woman from Uganda. She is a widow who has endured several painful experiences in her life. She lost her only child just one week after delivery, and her husband passed away two years ago. Since then, she has been left without immediate family support and has become dependent on her sister, who cares for her despite having very limited resources. Seven months ago, Stella began to experience troubling symptoms, including fever and vomiting. Physicians recommend a laparotomy, which is a surgery that opens up the abdominal cavity to treat her condition. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $279 to fund Stella's surgery. On October 29th, she will undergo surgery, and once completed, this procedure will hopefully greatly improve her quality of life. Stella’s sister says, “I am deeply grateful to the doctors and medical team at Ibanda Hospital for caring for my sister. Since she lost her husband and only child, I have been taking care of her despite our difficult financial situation. I am worried because I do not have the money needed for her stoma. I humbly appeal to the donors to support my sister by paying for her operation. I will keep caring for my sister while practicing farming."

Samuel is a 20-month-old boy from Uganda. He lives with his parents, both small-scale farmers, and his four older siblings. About a year ago, Samuel began experiencing intermittent swelling in a sensitive area of his body. The swelling has become painful, prompting his parents to bring him to our partner’s medical care center, Uganda Martyr's Ibanda Hospital. After an examination, doctors diagnosed Samuel with a hydrocele. They have recommended surgery, as the condition is causing him ongoing pain and is unlikely to improve on its own. Fortunately, Samuel’s surgery is scheduled for October 29th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $201 to fund his surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably. Samuel’s mother shared, “I thank God who has enabled me to bring my child to Ibanda hospital, I hope the donor program will support my child towards his surgery. I will keep practicing farming while taking care of Samuel and other children.”

Fortunately, on October 29th, David will undergo repair surgery at our medical partner's care center, Uganda Martyr's Ibanda Hospital. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $201 to fund David's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably.
