Diana is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. She is a mother to two children, both delivered through cesarean section themselves, and are studying in nursery school. Although she completed her senior year in school, Diana was unable to continue her education due to a lack of school fees. Initially, she stayed at home and focused on farming until she got married at the age of 17. Now she engages in farming on her small plot of land alongside her husband. They cultivate crops to feed their family and sell the surplus to generate income. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with family. Diana is currently expecting her third child. She's been receiving care throughout her pregnancy from the hospital and her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section because of her higher-risk for complications. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Diana undergo a C-Section on May 26th. This procedure will cost $252, and Diana needs your support. Diana says, "I hope to deliver a live baby and hope for good health once I am operated."

Beatrice is a 59-year-old small-scale farmer from Uganda. She works alongside her husband, but reports they are experiencing reduced productivity due to old age. They own a three-room mud house for shelter. Beatrice has twelve children but unfortunately lost her first four children. Her eldest child is now 38 years old, and her youngest is 22 years old. Farming is the only source of their family’s income. Three years ago, Beatrice developed a small painless swelling on her neck. Over time, the swelling has progressively increased in size. About a year ago, Beatrice began to experience headaches, airway obstructions, and painful swallowing. She has completely stopped farming due to her condition. After seeking help, Beatrice was diagnosed with nodulated Goiter and requires surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Beatrice receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on August 2nd at our AMH's care center. Surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. This procedure will cost $333, and she and her family need help raising money. Beatrice says, “I pray that I may get well through surgery. I will continue with farming after complete recovery.”

Peace is an 80-year-old farmer facing difficulties maintaining a comfortable life in the wake of a debilitating gynecological condition. For two years, Peace has suffered from a protrusion that has left her fatigued, in constant pain, and with other worrying issues. Peace has been widowed for 33 years and had 6 children; sadly, 2 of her children have passed away. The living 4 are married, self-employed, and unable to provide full-time care for their mother. Due to the sensitive nature of her condition, Peace faces ostracization in her community and is unable to find a caregiver. Previously, Peace worked on a farm to support herself, but has been unable to farm since the onset of her symptoms, leaving her in a tenuous financial state. If left untreated, Peace's persistent symptoms will continue to make her life exceedingly challenging. She has been unable to seek treatment at a hospital due to the financial burden, relying instead on painkillers from a clinic to alleviate her discomfort. Peace earnestly requests your support to raise $243 for surgery, which will improve her overall quality of life. Peace says, “I have been battling with this condition for quite long; I do request for any possible support to restore my health to enable me to get back to farming.”
