Mpirirwe is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. She is a mother of six, most are already married. She is the sole caretaker of her husband who was paralyzed six years ago. They live in a three-room semi-permanent house.
For the last 40 years, Mpirirwe has experienced no pain but as her mandibular mass has grown bigger, she experiences discomfort and disfigurement of her appearance. The mass needs to be excised to prevent her symptoms from growing worse.
Mpirirwe traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On July 16th, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Mpirirwe needs help to raise $145 to fund this procedure.
Mpirirwe shared, “With this surgery, I will be able to work comfortably again and be more productive. I will also comfortably attend church services and participate in other public activities as others do.”
