Janet is a single mom who is devoted to giving her son the best life possible, despite major challenges.
Janet was diagnosed with fibroids that cause severe abdominal pain, bleeding, and anemia. She used to work as a cleaner in Nairobi, but she is unable to work regularly because of immense blood loss and difficulty doing anything active, even walking.
Recently, Janet sent her son to stay with his grandmother because she was too weak to care for him. Watsi’s Medical Partner submitted her profile to us in hopes of raising the $1200 they need to cover the cost of Janet’s surgery and help her get healthy. They write, “Janet loves her son dearly and is determined to give him the best she can to see him independent and successful in life.” Removal of her fibroids is the first step toward making that possible.
