Grace is a 25-year-old mother of one from Kanungu in rural Uganda. Grace works at a local school as a matron for the young girls. When she is not at work, she likes to dig on her small piece of land and grow food.
Grace has been diagnosed with an ovarian mass and has been experiencing pelvic bleeding for the last six months. She has now been diagnosed with anemia.
Surgeons have recommended Grace for a laparotomy procedure to remove the ovarian mass. Grace will undergo surgery on Mary 25. As she cannot afford to pay the hospital and surgery costs by herself, our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is asking for help to raise $307 in funds.
After she recovers from her surgery, Grace hopes to go back and continue working at her school. Grace thanks the donors for their support.

Grace underwent a laparotomy.
Grace’s abdominal laparotomy surgery went well, and the ovarian mass that was causing her so much pain was successfully removed. Her uterus was not removed, so she still may be able to have more children some day. Grace has gone home to continue her recovery but will be able to return to work full time soon.
“As a single mother, I just did not have enough money to pay for surgery,” says Grace, “and it has been very difficult to live with the pain and bleeding. The donors have helped me and my child so much. Thank you.”
