Bala is a married father of three. He works as a motorcycle taxi driver, and he uses his income to take care of his family.
About five years ago, Bala developed a painful and irregular swelling in his left groin region. When he visited a hospital, he could not afford to pay for treatment. Finally, he visited our medical partner’s care center, Holy Family Virika Hospital. There, he was diagnosed with a left inguinal hernia, meaning that part of his intestine has bulged through his abdomen.
Bala requires surgery to repair the hernia and is currently scheduled to have the operation on January 18. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $249 to cover the expenses of the procedure.
After surgery, Bala hopes to start trading in secondhand clothes so that he can increase his income and continue to support his family.

Bala underwent successful hernia repair surgery.
He is no longer at risk of strangulation of the hernia. After recovery, he will be able to do any work.
Komwiswa says, “I am relieved! I didn’t know I would get surgery. Thank you for rescuing my life from the grave. I can’t express the joy that fills my heart right now. I will always pray for God’s blessings upon all the people who have led to the success of my surgery. I have faith that I will be well and resume my work of motorcycle transport. I extend my gratitude to all the donors of Watsi for paying for my surgery. God bless you abundantly.”
