Fred is an elderly man from Uganda. He is married and has four sons and four daughters. He has a small banana and coffee plantation that he operates with his wife, although he is currently not involved very much due to his health condition. He also has a history of asthma, but has been able to manage it well with medication. Fred loves music and is a choirmaster at his church.
For the past three years, Fred has had a hydrocele, a swelling in a sensitive area. This hydrocele causes him pain while walking and going about his day-to-day tasks.
After an examination at Nyakibale Hospital, the doctor recommended surgery. Fortunately, on February 7th, he will undergo hydrocele repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $146 to fund Fred’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently.
Fred says, “It will really be a blessing and I will surely be humbled seeing my health restored because with this condition, I have really passed through a lot of pain.”
