Kattie is a 27-year-old mother from Haiti who currently lives with breast cancer.
“Kattie’s pain makes it hard to carry her baby with her right arm, “ shares our medical partner, Project Medishare (PM). “The skin around her breast has also broken open, causing fluids to leak through her bra and shirt.”
PM continues, “Kattie is a young mother, whose parents both passed when she was young. However, she has a supportive sister, who will travel with Kattie to the Dominican Republic (DR) for her radiation. Kattie is quiet, strong, and resolute; she hasn’t worked since becoming pregnant, but she hopes to go back to school when she is better.”
Kattie will need to spend two to four weeks at a hospital in the DR before returning to Haiti for chemotherapy. For $1500 we can fund her travel, hospital stay, and treatment.
“It is still possible for her to be cured,” her doctor shares. “Kattie will continue taking care of her baby and hopes to eventually go back to school.”
