Bekunda is a 48-year-old farmer and a mother of five children. Her oldest is 30 years old, and her youngest is 17 years old. Bekunda's husband is a cattle grazer, and her family owns a four room semi-permanent house for shelter. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with and taking care of her family. Eight months ago, Bekunda began to experience troubling symptoms. She found that she tired easily throughout the day and had some difficulty breathing. Upon seeking care, Bekunda was diagnosed with a goitre. She needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Bekunda receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on February 10th at our medical partner's care center. Surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. This procedure will cost $293, and Bekunda and her family need your support. Bekunda shared, “I pray that I may be considered for treatment. I will continue with farming to further develop my family.”
