Hashim is a farmer with a large family from Malawi. He lives with his wife and six kids, and together they have seven grandchildren. He spends his days farming, and enjoys reading the Bible in his free time.
Since May 2018, Hashim has been experiencing pain and failure to urinate. These symptoms are caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. He needs to undergo a prostate resection surgery, a procedure in which surgeons will remove part of the enlarged gland.
Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $733 to fund Hashim’s surgery. On February 14, he will undergo prostate surgery at Nkhoma Hospital, our medical partner’s care center. The requested money pays for supplies, medications, and two weeks of hospital stay.
