Jackline is a loving mother and 29-year-old who works in a saloon near her town. She is a mother of one girl who is in nursery school. Jackline is married and her husband operates a motorcycle taxi. The family shares a double room and, together, Jackline and her husband provide for the basic needs of their family. Three years ago, Jackline began to experience troubling symptoms, including anterior neck swelling and later started having breathing difficulties. She was diagnosed with nodular goitre. She has been to various hospital and in one of the facility, she was requested to pay over $800 which she could not raise. However, she needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Jackline receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on November 2nd at our medical partner's care center. Surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. This procedure will cost $252, and she and her family need help raising money. Jackline says, “my only hope of getting better again is the surgery for which I request your kind support."

"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!
