Wellen is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. She is a mother of nine children: five boys and four girls. She is married and is the second born in a family of 12 children, but two of her siblings have passed on. Wellen studied up to elementary school, but she was unable to complete her schooling due to finances. She does small-scale farming together with her husband to care for their family. She carried nine previous healthy pregnancies up to term. The last two deliveries were done by C-section due to difficulties with labor. All her children are doing well, and some are in school. She is carrying her tenth pregnancy and attending antenatal care at our facility. She appeals for support as she does not have the finances to pay for the C-section. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Wellen undergo a C-Section on March 5th. This procedure will cost $241, and Wellen needs your support. Wellen says, "After the delivery, I hope to return to farming and with the capital from my yields, I'll be able to start a retail shop in the future."

Brenda, who is 24 years old, lives in Uganda with her husband and niece. While she once worked at a local brewery, she now does small scale farming, which provides food for the table, but no income. Her husband is a contractor, who also has a grocery store. Brenda is currently expecting a new baby. Her first pregnancy did not produce a live birth, and because she delivered via a Caesarean section the first time, her doctors are strongly recommending another C-section for the upcoming birth, to ensure the safety of both Brenda and the baby. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Brenda undergo a C-section on December 12th, at Uganda Martyr's Ibanda Hospital. This procedure will cost $207, and Brenda needs your support. Brenda says: "I have high hopes that my surgery will be successful and I will be able to have a live baby and get rid of the scar pain. This time after the surgery, I will have enough rest and later resume my daily activities. My second plan is to join an institution and get skills in hairdressing.’’

Sarah completed senior six and pursued university, where she studied secondary teaching and was able to teach for a few years. During her marriage, she delivered two children in 2015 and 2016 through C-section. Unfortunately, her husband had a previous wife who passed away, leaving three children that they were raising together until they separated. She returned home, and has lost her job. Despite the challenges, she engages in small-scale farming to produce food, compensating for the land shortage she faces due to losing her teaching job. She currently lives with her parents in a two-roomed house. Sarah is fond of sports and during her free time, she enjoys watching football and movies. She is currently expecting her third child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section because of her higher-risk pregnancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Sarah undergo a ceasarean section on December 14th. This procedure will cost $252, and Sarah needs your support. Sarah says, “I am suffering as I am now a single lady, I appeal to donors to support me in delivering my baby since am not able to afford the surgery bills.”
