Amumpaire is a 4-year-old girl from Uganda. She is the youngest of two children to her parents. She has started school and Amumpaire prefers playing to anything else. Her father is a mechanic and repairs vehicles to earn a living. Her mother practices small-scale farming to provide food to the family.
Amumpaire was brought by her mother with anterior and progressive swelling on her neck since birth. This has disfigured her neck and it is protruding which causes discomfort.
Amumpaire traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On May 19th, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Amumpaire needs help to raise $206 to fund this procedure.
Amumpaire’s mom says, “I can’t wait to see my child without this condition on her neck. I will surely be happy and can continue with farming as I care for our family.”
