Daw is a 55-year-old mother of four sons. She is also the primary caretaker for her husband and her elderly mother, both of whom had strokes in the last few years. Until recently, Daw sold snacks as a street vendor, but health problems now prevent her from working.
Daw lived a healthy life before she began experiencing severe abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with uterine prolapse, a condition in which the muscles holding the uterus in place fail, causing the uterus to drop out of its normal position. Daw's doctor recommended removing her uterus, but because of the medical bills she was unable to support her family and afford the surgery.
Daw has two grandchildren, and she says she hopes “to live long enough to see all her grandchildren grow into happy, healthy human beings.” For $750, we can fund Daw’s surgery and grant her wish!
