26-year-old Katuutu is excited to be pregnant for the first time. However, she will not be able to have a vaginal delivery because she has a contracted pelvis—meaning one of the diameters of her pelvic bones is too small to allow for her baby to pass through during childbirth. If Katuutu does not undergo a cesarean section delivery, she may rupture when she goes into labor, which can be life-threatening. Katuutu also had polio as a child, which has left her with lingering physical challenges: she must use a wheelchair instead of walking, and her arms cannot hold anything. Katuutu is the oldest in a family of four. She lives with her parents, who are both farmers, in a small village in Uganda. Katuutu sells charcoal and firewood for a living, which allows her to make ends meet and to pay for her polio-related medical costs—but will not leave her with enough extra money to afford the caesarean section she needs to survive childbirth. Katuutu’s financial situation is further complicated by the fact that the father of her baby left after she became pregnant. But we can help. For $270, we can fund Katuutu’s C-section, as well as the medications and week-long hospital stay she will need to safely recover from the procedure. Katuutu shares, “I have always wanted to have three children, but I think my condition will not allow it. I want to have surgery so that I don’t lose this first baby."
