A farmer by trade, San Thwin works side by side her husband tilling land on farms in Hway Shan, Burma. San Thwin is known by her friends for her inner strength. She lost her father at a young age, and after his passing, stayed home to help her mother support the family instead of going to school. She never learned to read or write. In March of this year, San Thwin noticed the first symptoms of a myoma, a benign tumor that grows within the muscle tissue of the uterus. She lost her appetite, developed abdominal pain, and when lying down she felt a small mass in her abdomen. San Thwin continued to help her husband with farm work until her pain became too severe. Now they can no longer cover the cost of their living or medical treatments. Sam Thwin deeply wants to get better so she can return to her livelihood. For $865, San Thwin will have an operation that surgically removes the myoma from her abdomen. After receiving treatment, she will no longer experience chronic pain and can return to her normal life with her husband. Lets help her achieve this!
