“I am looking forward to being in no pain so that I can do household chores and also to take care of my husband and daughters,” San San tells us.
36-year-old San San is a mother of three from Burma. Last year she went to a doctor with cervical pain, and was told she needed treatment for an inflamed cervix. But because she could not afford the treatment, she continued to live in pain. A subsequent ultrasound revealed she has a cervical mass, which is not only causing pain, but also mental distress.
San San and her daughters rely on her husband’s income, which is not enough to cover the expenses of the family. They often borrow money to make ends meet. Our medical partner, Burma Border Projects (BBP) is able to treat San San’s mass for $625, which we hope to fully fund for her.
“Once San San has had the inflamed mass of retained products in her cervix removed she will be able to take full-time care of her daughter, who has a congenital heart condition,” says BBP. “She will be able to live with good health and dignity and contribute positively towards her community.”
