Rebecca is 10-year-old child from Uganda. Recently, she has been sick with fever and vomiting.
Rebecca was taken to our medical partner's care center, Bwindi Community Hospital. There, she was diagnosed with malaria and scheduled to begin treatment on January 16. Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is asking for $120 to fund Rebecca's hospital stay fees, medication, lab tests, and medical supplies.
Rebecca's parents are small farmers. They grow millet, beans, groundnuts, and cassava. For extra income, Rebecca's father picks tea for the local tea factory. During their leisure time, her parents enjoy listening to the radio, especially health programs. They have contributed $7 to help fund their daughter's medical needs.
After treatment, Rebecca is looking forward to going back to school, where she is in fourth grade. For fun, she enjoys skipping rope, reading books, and playing football. Rebecca's father, Herbert, is looking forward to taking Rebecca back to school when she is better.
Rebecca’s father would like to thank all the donors for supporting his daughter's treatment. “I will ask God to bless the donors for all the help they are giving,” Herbert says.
