Annet is a 40-year-old woman from Uganda. She is married with four children, all of whom are in school. In her free time, Annet enjoys weaving mats and baskets, listening to the news on the local radio station, and chatting with women in the local community group.
Fifteen years ago, during the delivery of her third child, Annet developed an abnormal condition in a sensitive area. She has experienced pain and urinary dysfunction. Annet visited many hospitals and clinics, but she could not get treated.
Annet is a subsistence farmer who has done manual work all her life. She used to produce her own food, but for the last fifteen years, she has not been able to do any heavy work. She has experienced discomfort when she tries to sit, walk, or dig.
On October 26, Annet underwent a repair surgery. She needs help to fund this $215 procedure. Funds will also cover three nights in the hospital, pain medicine and antibiotics, and lab tests.
After surgery, Annet hopes to get well, resume her subsistence farming, and help her husband take care of the family. “I want to thank the donors for taking away this pain,” shares Annet. “I have prayed to God to relieve me of this pain, and he has done it through the sponsors. God bless the sponsors.”
