20-year-old Kali is a wife and mother of a six-month-old baby. She lives with her extended family (11 members in total) in Nepal. Even though the family grows enough to feed everyone, there isn't always enough to meet other needs. So Kali's husband has gone to Saudia Arabia to work. Recently Kali noticed redness and tenderness in her breast. It progressed gradually and became too painful for her to sleep on that side or to breastfeed her baby. If not treated, this abcess can spread and be a source for infection elsewhere. For $215 we can provide Kali wound management for the abcess, which will include incision and drainage as well as antibiotics. This way Kali will not be in pain and will be able to breastfeed her baby again. Let's do it.
