Kasangaki is a 51-year-old farmer from Uganda. He is married and has seven children. He and his wife both eat and sell the food that they grow on their farm.
In 2015, Kasangaki began to notice a swelling on the right side of his lower abdomen. He was then referred to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia. If not treated, the hernia may obstruct blood flow to the intestines, potentially causing severe tissue damage.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $249 to cover the cost of Kasangaki's hernia repair surgery. The procedure is scheduled to take place on June 28 and, once completed, will hopefully allow Kasangaki to live more comfortably again.
“After surgery I will have peace of mind and resume farming," says Kasangaki.
