Nyangoma is a farmer from Uganda. She is married and a mother six children.
For two years, Nyangoma has had an epigastric hernia. If not treated, the hernia can result in intestinal tissue damage and death. Fortunately, on August 22, she will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $249 to fund Nyangoma's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and confidently.
She says, "After surgery I will resume working in my gardens with my husband."
