Mercy is a friendly and ambitious woman from Nigeria who likes to read and prides herself in her organizational skills. After graduating from university with a degree in economics, she hoped to secure a job, or even start her own business, to help her siblings and widowed mother with their finances.
However, Mercy was recently involved in a car accident that left her with multiple injuries and a lipoma (large but benign tumor) on her lower back. Since then, she has been unable to walk properly, and experiences excruciating pain when she does try to walk. She says her hopes of going into business are starting to fade.
For $1,500, doctors can perform an x-ray and CT scan on Mercy to check that her spine is not damaged, and remove the lipoma on her lower back. Mercy says, “I want to find employment so that I can help my siblings and other girls who are going through issues in their schooling or careers.” Let’s help her get well again so that she can fulfill her wish!
