Aye is a 50-year-old woman from Burma. She lives with her husband and two sons, one of whom attends a local school. Aye and her other son work as agricultural day laborers, cultivating rice and corn.
Early this year, Aye began to experience uncomfortable symptoms in a sensitive area. She was referred to our medical partner’s hospital for investigation. Her blood levels were low, so she received a blood transfusion. An ultrasound revealed endometrial hyperplasia, an abnormal uterine condition. On November 28, Aye underwent a total hysterectomy.
Aye’s condition has prevented her from working. Her family cannot afford this $1,500 procedure, and they need our help.
“I want to get back to work and help my son,” says Aye.
