“I love working with my husband on our farm,” shares 41-year-old Jacinta from Kenya. “I want to be able to go back to work.”
Jacinta and her husband support their two school-aged children by working as full-time farmers. They have planted maize and have two dairy cows. After experiencing severe back pain, Jacinta sought medical treatment but received an incorrect diagnosis. As pain continued, she visited our medical partners at African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF) who diagnosed her with cervical cancer.
“If surgery is not done, the cancer could spread to Jacinta’s other organs,” explain our partners at AMHF. “This could lead to premature death.”
Jacinta and her husband have worked hard to raise the funds needed for Jacinta to receive total abdominal hysterectomy surgery to remove the cancer and alleviate her back pain.
For $800, we can add to the money already contributed by Jacinta’s family to fully fund her surgery. Let’s help Jacinta realize her hopes of returning to work to support her family, free from pain!
