Nshemereirwe is a small scale farmer who lost her husband over 20 years ago. She is a mother of five children and managed to construct a two-room house for her family to live in.
In recent years, Nshemereirwe has been experiencing chronic lower abdominal pains, severe backache and headache. She has been diagnosed with uterine fibroids. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus, in order to relieve her of her pain.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $228 to fund Nshemereirwe’s surgery. On March 5th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Once recovered, Nshemereirwe will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain and her quality of life will improve.
Nshemereirwe shared, “I pray that I may be considered for surgery. I plan to start up any business along with farming that will enable me to get enough income to take good care of myself.”
