Byamugisha is a small scale farmer from Uganda. He was once married but separated ten years ago due to overgrowth of keloids, which she was not pleased with. They have one child together who is in school studying, but being supported by relatives as Byamugisha is not working. Byamugisha is not settled in his mind and he feels helpless because he is laughed at by everyone in public places and as a result, he now avoids going out.
Byamugisha traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On April 2nd, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Byamugisha needs help to raise $187 to fund this procedure.
Byamugisha says, “I don’t know how much I will praise the Lord once I am relieved of this condition.”

Byamugisha underwent keloid treatment.
Byamugisha had received a successful surgery to remove a large mandibular keloid. He had a partial keloid removal as the surgeon explained that it was not possible to remove the entire keloid that he has as there would be too high of a risk of over bleeding. Having been not possible to remove every keloid, the surgeon decided to remove the large, extensive keloid with active bleeding to relieve Byamugisha from the burden he had and poorer quality of life. This has helped him to have less disfigurement with at least improved quality of life, however he will likely stay with the remaining keloid as advised by the surgeon for his safety.
Byamugisha told us, “I thank the program for the removal of these keloids, mostly the one that was hanging and actively bleeding that had affected my life; living in misery as if I was cursed. But I thank you for relieving me from such and I surely cannot thank you enough but just to wish you God’s blessings.”
