Annah is a 35-year-old woman from Kenya, and a mother to six young children. She works as a casual laborer, often working in other people’s farms for a living. The family lives in a rental house where rent is paid by her husband, who works as a tailor.
Earlier this year, Annah went to the hospital because she found lumps in her breasts, but she was only given some medications. The lumps reoccurred in April with additional symptoms. She was referred to AIC Kijabe Hospital, a Watsi care center, where biopsy and x-ray results showed that she had breast cancer. Annah needs a mastectomy as part of her treatment. If not treated, the cancer may spread to other organs and this may lead to premature death.
$740 will cover the costs of the surgery and care Annah needs. Let’s help raise the funds!
Annah says, “I want to be treated and be free from this condition to be there for my young children and husband”.
