Josphat is a farmer from Kenya. He is a married father of four children. Josphat farms a small piece of land, and his wife sells vegetables at their local market. His family lives in a rental house after being displaced from their home in 2008 during Kenya’s post-election violence. In 2008, Josphat broke his right femur and spent a whole year in the hospital. Fortunately, he was treated and continued farming. However, two days ago, he slid and fractured his right femur again. Josphat is experiencing difficulty walking and working. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On November 16, Josphat will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. He will able to walk again and provide for his family. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,451 to fund this procedure. Josphat says, "I wish to be treated and continue providing for my family. They still need my presence and contribution."

Tumusiime is a 47-year-old married farmer from Uganda. Her husband is also a farmer, and together they have 10 children, some of whom are still in school. For over three months, Tumusiime has been experiencing abdominal pain associated with heavy vaginal bleeding. This condition puts her at risk of developing severe anemia and could also result in other medical difficulties. Upon visiting our medical partner's care center, Karoli Lwanga Hospital, Tumusiime was diagnosed with uterine myomas, and a total abdominal hysterectomy was recommended. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $208 to cover the cost of Tumusiime's total abdominal hysterectomy, which is scheduled to take place on June 29. Once completed, the treatment will hopefully spare Tumusiime from further medical complications, allowing her to live more comfortably. "I hope to be relieved of heavy painful bleeding so as I may have good work performance at home," shares Tumusiime.
