Win is a 28-year-old woman from Burma. She lives with her mother in Myawaddy, Karen State. She works as a day laborer. She love to spend time with her mother and to collect edible plants in the forest for food.
Since 2013, Win has been experiencing troubling gynecological symptoms. She has been diagnosed with a myoma. She has been advised to undergo a total abdominal hysterectomy, the surgical removal of her uterus and cervix. If left untreated, Win's symptoms will continue to worsen and put her at risk for further health complications in the future.
Fortunately, Win is scheduled to undergo her hysterectomy on July 24. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to cover the total cost of her procedure and care. After surgery, Win will no longer worry about her condition, and she will be able to look after her mother.
Win says, “After my surgery, I want to work as a day laborer again."
