"I want to get well so that I [can] continue with my farming instead of depending on people to feed me," Lucy shares with her doctors. Lucy is 53 years old and the proud mother of grown children. She also has uterine fibroids, which are causing her unbearable abdominal pain and bleeding. Without treatment, Lucy is at risk of severe anemia and continually decreasing quality of life. Lucy lost her husband four years ago and depends on subsistence farming for her livelihood. Due to her condition and the excessive pain that it causes, Lucy can no longer farm and now depends on others for her food. A total abdominal hysterectomy will cure Lucy's condition. However, neither Lucy nor her children can afford the cost of the surgery. For $885, we can help Lucy get back on her feet and ensure that this treatable condition does not lead to further complications!
