Esther is a 24-year-old woman with pre-cancerous lesions on her cervix. If left untreated, these lesions could turn into full-blown, untreatable cervical cancer.
Fortunately, Esther’s doctors are confident that by removing the pre-cancerous lesions they can “eliminate the risk of future spread of cancer.”
When Esther was 12 and in her last year of primary school, she got pregnant. She dropped out of school to raise her daughter, marking the end of her education. Esther is now married with four children. Because of her lack of education, she can only work odd jobs. Her husband makes a modest income working on a farm. Esther was first diagnosed with cervical dysplasia at 20, but she and her husband were unable to raise the money required to have her condition treated. Esther loves her children and she wants to get healthy so she can give them the kind of life she wishes she had. We want to fund her treatment so she has the chance to do it.
