Tindimwebwa is a farmer from Western Uganda. She is a married 43-year-old mother of four children. Her husband operates a small retail shop to help provide for their family. Three of her children are in school and most of their income pays for school fees.
For nine months, Tindimwebwa has been experiencing lower back pain, abdominal pain, and bleeding. She has been diagnosed with premalignant cervical lesions and it is recommended that she undergo a hysterectomy, where surgeons will remove her uterus. If she is not treated, Tindimwebwa is at risk of the lesions developing into cancerous tissue.
On February 16th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Tindimwebwa’s surgery. Once recovered, Tindimwebwa will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Tindimwebwa shared, “I would like you to support my surgery because it is my only hope of regaining my health.”
