Lucious is a 63-year-old Malawian farmer who lives with his wife and extended family. Lucious spends his days farming and fetching wood for the family. When he has quiet time, Lucious likes to spend it with his children and grandchildren.
Since June of 2017, Lucious has been been experiencing difficulty urinating due to prostatic hyperplasia, or the condition of an enlarged prostate. It was determined that he needs prostate surgery in order to prevent future, severe medical complications from arising, however surgery is out of the family’s financial reach.
Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $733 to fund a prostate resection for Lucious, which is scheduled to take place on July 18. Part of his enlarged prostate gland will be removed, and, once the procedure is complete, Lucious will hopefully be able to live more comfortably and confidently.
“Thank you Watsi for giving me this surgery,” shares Lucious.
