Immaculate is 50-year-old mother and hardworking farmer from Uganda. She is a mother to five children, four of whom have completed school and one whom currently attends school. To support their family, Immaculate tends to her small piece of land for subsistence farming, and her husband works as a construction worker.
For three years, Immaculate has been experiencing backaches, body weakness, lower abdominal pain, a frequent need to use the restroom, and other troubling symptoms. At our medical partner’s care center, she was diagnosed with multiple uterine fibroids, as well as a cervical polyp. She must undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus, to treat her conditions. If not treated, Immaculate will be at risk of developing anaemia, as well as other troubling health complications, in the future.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Immaculate’s procedure. On August 2nd, she will undergo gynecological surgery at AMHF’s care center. Once recovered, Immaculate will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Immaculate shares, “The only hope I am left with of getting better is by undergoing my surgery. I believe that with your support, it will surely be possible.”
