“I want to get well and be there for my children," shares Miriam, a 40-year-old mother of two children. Miriam and her children, a boy in grade three and a girl in grade two, live in urban Kenya. She works at a small grocery shop while her partner operates a taxi cab. Together, Miriam and her partner split the rent for a two-roomed house and Miriam is able to meet her son's school fees. In January 2016, Miriam felt a lump on her left breast and began to complain of pain on her left hand. At the original hospital she visited, the x-ray images did not present a clear diagnosis. In May, Miriam visited Watsi's medical partner. After several examinations, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and was told that she needed a mastectomy, a surgery to remove all breast tissue from a breast as a way to treat or prevent breast cancer. Without treatment, Miriam's cancer might spread to other parts of her body which would further complicate her health life and result in premature death. Despite her sister and parents being out of work, Miriam's family and friends were able to subsidize $208 of the cost of her surgery. The remaining $740 will be funded by the generous support of Watsi donors. Surgery will allow Miriam to regain her health, return to work, and continue providing for her children.
