Catherine is a 25-year-old mother from Uganda. She is married and has one child. Catherine and her husband have difficulty paying school fees for their daughter, who is in the top class in her nursery training.
Catherine works as a farmer on a small plot of land to produce food for her family. With her husband, she cultivates beans, maize, cassava, and millet. During her free time, Catherine knits clothes to sell as a source of income.
Catherine visited our medical partner when she was pregnant with her third child. Her previous two children were delivered by C-section. Due to her history, her doctors advised her to deliver again through C-section to prevent uterine rupture.
On October 28, Catherine checked in to the hospital to await her delivery. She needs help to fund the $258 C-section that doctors will perform.
After her delivery, Catherine hopes to recover, regain her energy, and continue looking after her family. She looks forward to nursing her baby and sending him or her to school.
“May God bless the people supporting my operation,” says Catherine.
