Sitan lives with her son and grandchildren in the suburbs of Bamako. She spends her days raising her grandchildren and gardening to help provide for her family. Her providers call her a “64 year old force of energy!”
Sitan recently visited her local health center because she had a painful pelvic mass. There, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Without surgery, this cancer will continue to cause her pain and could take her life.
Sitan and her family do not have the means to pay for her treatment. In spite of this, she maintains hope and remains strong for her grandchildren.
The total cost of Sitan’s treatment is $780. $80 can cover her medication costs, $100 will pay her lab fees, her surgery will cost $400, and her hospital stay will total $200. Together, we can raise the funds for Sitan to be around for her grandchildren for years to come.
