Hope is a 37-year-old mother from rural Uganda. She lives with her husband, Paul, and their 12-year-old child. Hope and Paul are subsistence farmers, and they grow rice, corn, and beans. Hope also weaves mats to be sold in the local market. During her free time, she likes to listen to the radio, particularly the sermons that are broadcast on Sundays.
Unfortunately, Hope experienced complications when she delivered her child. For many years, she experienced painful symptoms that prevented her from working. Her condition caused her daily difficulty.
Hope underwent a repair surgery on October 26. This procedure should allow her to return to her family, her work, and her church. Now, she needs help to fund this $547 treatment.
“I thank the people that are supporting my care,” says Hope. “I have been assured by the doctors that my condition can be fixed. I am looking forward to going back when am well.”
