Askalech is a 60-year-old woman from Ethiopia who’s experiencing uterine prolapse, a condition caused by the failure of certain abdominal muscles that results in discomfort and immobility.
Askalech has nine children and many grandchildren. She loves going to the market, cooking for her family, and making coffee (an important tradition in Ethiopia). But since her uterine prolapse, Askalech has been unable to live an active life.
It will only cost $240 for Askalech to have corrective surgery. With treatment, her doctors expect that she will be able to live a full and active life, and continue serving amazing coffee to her friends and family!
