Meet Godiya, a 29-year-old woman from Nigeria. "She goes to her business place daily with her face full of smiles and hope, where she engages in buying and selling on small scales," shares our medical partner, Hope for West Africa. Godiya hopes to one day go back to school.
One year ago, Godiya developed a painful lump in her breast. The lump causes her much discomfort and makes it difficult for her to go about her daily business.
Godiya must have the breast mass surgically removed. $1,486 will cover the surgical procedure, necessary medications, and follow-up care.
"I have always looked forward to having a normal life with the breast lump gone and pain free," Godiya says. "I know a day will come when all of this will come to reality."
