Meet Jolly! Jolly is a 29-year-old expectant mother from Uganda. Jolly and her husband are subsistence farmers and coffee pickers. They own a small shop selling groceries and are working hard to make their home ready for a baby.
Jolly’s pregnancy is high risk. “This is her fifth pregnancy, and of her previous pregnancies, only one child is living,” our medical partner, The Kellerman Foundation, tells us. Jolly requires a cesarean section and antenatal care to help her have a successful delivery.
“She has felt this baby move and has high hopes for a healthy pregnancy and baby. It is important to her that the baby be educated,” the Kellerman Foundation says.
Jolly’s cesarean section and antenatal care together will cost $303. Jolly says she is very grateful for any help given and she looks forward to bringing home a healthy baby.
