Thidar is a 41-year-old mother of five and the breadwinner of her family. Up until recently Thidar owned and managed her own food shop in Burma, where she sells prepared food and vegetables.
Thidar has uterine tumors that cause severe side effects. Thidar’s abdomen is distended, making it difficult for her to move easily or sit for long periods of time.
Due to the pain and complications as a result of her illness, Thidar has a hard time taking care of herself and her children. She was forced to close her shop four months ago. It’s been a long road for Thidar, who has been experiencing pain since 2013 and has spent much of her savings for medical care though wasn’t diagnosed with myoma until very recently. However, diagnosis has given her hope at last that she will be relieved of pain and discomfort so she can reopen her shop, allowing her to save money to send her youngest child to school and care for her family as she used to.
We need $865 to pay for the surgical removal of Thidar’s myoma to restore her health. Once she is back in good shape, Thidar would like to move closer to her mother and extended family and reopen her shop. Let’s do this!
