Rhoda is a wife and mother of three sons from southwestern Uganda. She and her husband, Gerald, are proud that all three of their sons are in school. When she is not farming or caring for her family, Rhoda enjoys listening to the news on the radio and participating in the local village savings and loan group. She also enjoys going to church on Sundays.
Rhoda is now expecting her fourth child. Because her other children were delivered by C-section, Rhoda’s doctors consider her pregnancy to be high-risk. On March 15, she will undergo a C-section to ensure a safe birth. After birth, Rhoda and her new baby will be monitored by the hospital staff.
Gerald and Rhoda are small farmers who grow food on their own land. Their income is not enough to pay for the C-section. For this reason, our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $258 to fund the surgery.
“After I deliver, I will give great thanks to the donors,” says Rhoda. “May God bless them.”
