Tumusiime shared, “I'm praying for my surgery to go well. I hope the lengthy struggles shall come to a stop and I will regain my ability to work on the farm once again.” Tumusiime is a 54-year-old woman and a married mother of seven children. Her oldest child is 27 and recently started a diploma course in accounting, while her youngest is 12 years old and in primary school. All of her other children are still in primary and secondary schools at different levels. Tumusiime shared that they are struggling to raise the school fees for their children. She and her husband are small scale farmers, and they own a four-room semi-permanent house for their family's shelter. 12 years ago, Tumusiime began experiencing troubling symptoms, including anterior neck swelling and airway obstruction. She is not able to carry heavy loads on her head and strains to turn her neck. She was diagnosed with nontoxic nodular goiter and she needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $293 to fund Tumusiime's treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on April 6th at AMH's care center. Surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland so that she can heal and continue with her day-to-day life with greater ease.
