Naw is a 32-year-old agricultural day laborer from Thailand. She lives with her husband while her daughter and son live with her sister-in-law in Burma. In her free time, Naw likes to stay at home and do housework.
For the past eight months, Naw has been experiencing a mass that is slowly increasing in size in her lower abdomen. She has been diagnosed with a dermoid cyst in her right ovary. She has been advised to undergo an oophorectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her ovaries.
Fortunately, Naw is scheduled to undergo her oophorectomy on August 15. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $913 to cover the total cost of her procedure and care.
“After I recover fully, I will continue to work as an agricultural day laborer and save some money to visit my children one day,” she says.

Naw underwent gynecological surgery.
Naw feels better since the mass was removed. However, she still has pain at the site of her surgical wound.
Naw said, “I am very pleased and grateful that I had the chance to receive treatment. If I would have had to pay for my own treatment, I know that I would have never been able to pay for it myself and even my family would not have been able to support me. In the future, I will continue to work and save money to build a house for my children. One day, I hope that I can live together with them in peace. Moreover, I will remember your organization that saved my life, in my prayers and I hope that I can help you one day. Thank you very much!”
