Kyampaire is a 38-year-old farmer, wife, and mother of five children from Uganda. Her husband is also a farmer, and four of their children are currently enrolled in either primary or secondary school. For three years, Kyampaire has been experiencing a swelling in her neck that has made it difficult for her to swallow. She was recently diagnosed with a multinodolar goiter, or an enlarged thyroid gland, and requires surgical treatment. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $240 to cover the cost of Kyampaire's thyroidectomy. The procedure is scheduled to take place on June 29 and, once completed, will allow Kyampaire to swallow normally and live more comfortably, free from other medical complications that the goiter could potentially cause. Kyampaire looks forward to life after treatment, saying, “I hope to be relieved of this condition and I have a better life and I work with my husband in crop growing for the betterment of our family.”
