Annet is a 49-year-old farmer and a married mother of six children, who are all students. She and her husband tend to their small piece of land and also take up casual labor to support their family. In her free time, Annet loves to listen to music.
For nine months, Annet has been experiencing severe bleeding and other symptoms that make her day-to-day life difficult. She is not able to go to the farm often due to back pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. After visiting a local hospital, she was diagnosed with intraendometrial bleeding. Without treatment, she is at risk of severe anemia. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $219 to fund Annet’s surgery. On August 11th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at AMH’s care center. Once recovered, Annet will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Annet shared, “I desire to be treated and regain my health back. I want to continue farming to provide for my children and make their dreams come true.”
