Dorcas is 44 years old and lives in Kenya with her husband and their four children. Dorcas runs a small kiosk with her husband to support their family and pay for their children’s school.
Lately, Dorcas has noticed that her menses have been heavier and have lasted longer than before. She went to our partner institution, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, and doctors identified uterine fibroids, non-cancerous growths on the uterus, as the cause of her prolonged menstrual cycles and overall weakness.
For $885, Dorcas will receive a total abdominal hysterectomy, that will remove the uterine growths and stop the painful bleeding. Dorcas’ family says, “We hope she is relieved of her pain and bleeding.” Let’s help grant Dorcas and her family their wishes, and give Dorcas a happier and healthier life!
