Glorious is a 50-year-old widow and mother of eight children from Uganda. She depends on small-scale farming to provide for her family.
For 20 years, Glorious has had Grade III splenomegaly and a hernia. She has been experiencing recurrent abdominal pain, which has progressively weakened her. Her condition has become so severe that she is no longer able to work, making it increasingly difficult to support her children.
Glorious heard about a surgical outreach organized by our medical partner’s care center, Rwibaale Hospital, in her village and attended for medical evaluation. Fortunately, on July 8th, she will undergo hernia repair surgery. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $234 to fund Glorious’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and confidently.
Glorious says, “l hope to get rid of pain and also resume working so that I can take good care of my family.”
