Rose is a mother of eight children. The oldest is in high school and the youngest is just one year old. She makes money by cleaning clothes.
Rose started having problems with a thyroid goiter in 2012. She experiences mild pain from a swelling on her neck, especially when she swallows solid foods or tablets. She was unable to seek treatment until 2016. Doctors can treat her goiter by removing part of the thyroid. If not treated, the swelling could continue to grow, which might result in swallowing and breathing complications.
Fortunately, Rose is scheduled to undergo surgery on March 15. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $640 to fund this procedure.
Rose says, “My children are still young and rely on me. I would wish to be treated and regain my energy to provide for them.”

Rose underwent thyroid removal.
Rose was successfully treated in our medical partner’s facility. She was discharged and her recovery progress has been good. Rose is now no longer going to have a swelling and will not have difficulty breathing or swallowing. She is now able to eat more solid food. Rose is thankful to the donors for sponsoring her treatment.
Rose says, “God bless you. I will ensure my children succeed in life now that I am in good health.”
