Elizabeth is a casual laborer from Kenya. She washes clothes in other people households so that she can raise money to buy food and pay her monthly bills. She got married previously, but separated with her husband after she was unable to conceive. Elizabeth lives in rented single-room house alone.
Two years ago, Elizabeth experienced pelvic pain. She has been diagnosed with bulky uterus, multiple fibroids, and bilateral hydrosalpinx. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $630 to fund Elizabeth’s surgery. On January 14th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Once recovered, Elizabeth will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Elizabeth says, “I want this pain removed so that I can be able to work.”
