Kenshozi is a small farmer from Uganda who is married with three children. All of her children are in school. She does small-scale farming to earn a living while her husband is a builder.
Since 10 years ago, Kenshozi began to experience troubling symptoms, including neck disfigurement, pain, and difficulty breathing. She was diagnosed with a goitre, an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland. She needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Kenshozi receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on September 15th at our medical partner’s care center. Surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. This procedure will cost $240, and she and her family need help raising money.
Kenshozi shared: “I wish my condition can be relieved and I also get well with peace of mind. This will give me the ability to resume farming for the survival of my family.”
