Ketabaro is a farmer from Uganda. She is a single mother of three boys and one daughter. Her first son is a private school teacher, the second son is a motorbike taxi rider, and the last son is a street vendor. Her daughter is married and is now a small scale farmer.
One year ago, Ketabaro started experiencing lower abdominal pain and bleeding. Upon seeking care, she was diagnosed with a premalignant cervical lesion. Ketabaro needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus.
Unfortunately, this procedure is very costly for Ketabaro and her family. She supports her four children with the little money she earns from farming her banana and coffee plantation. Ketabaro appeals for financial support.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Ketabaro’s surgery. On October 27th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Once recovered, Ketabaro will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Ketabaro shared, “I hope to get healed from this condition and hope to get a new life after surgery. I will continue with farming after I have fully recovered.”
