Naw Mu is a 16-year-old girl from Burma who developed a vesicovaginal fistula after a prolonged obstructed labor.
Now, instead of enjoying her youth, getting an education, working, and planning a family, Naw Mu is in constant pain, confined to a wheelchair, and rapidly losing weight. She cannot control her bladder, and relies on her family and husband for nearly everything.
On top of all that, Naw Mu is emotionally drained from months of financial stress about her medical bills. Her family sold their farmland to get her to a doctor, but they're still $1,165 short; the full cost of treatment that can restore her life to some semblance of normalcy.
This story can have a happier ending. If we chip in to get Naw Mu the care she needs, we can give her the opportunity to live the life she deserves to life. Time to make it happen.
