Prossy is an outgoing 20-year-old woman from Uganda. Prossy and her husband, Ananias, own a small shop in their village. They sell household items such as soap, matches, bread, and other necessities. Prossy also likes to make baskets and decorate them with black and white patterns. She sells them at her shop. The couple also does some farming to grow food for themselves.
When she is not working, Prossy enjoys visiting with friends and family, listening to gospel music, watching TV, and playing netball.
Prossy has been experiencing pain in her groin for about eight months. She traveled to the hospital on a motorcycle taxi in hopes of getting help. The doctors there diagnosed her with an ovarian cyst.
On January 27, Prossy will undergo a procedure to remove the cyst. She and her husband have contributed $4 to the cost of the procedure. Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $196 to help pay for the necessary medicine, supplies, and stay at the hospital.
Prossy and Ananias are looking forward to starting a family after this surgery. “Please thank all the donors for me,” says Prossy. “If I could, I would make baskets for them to say thank you.”
