Robert is a 55-year-old man from Uganda. He has been working as a tailor for 37 years, making dresses, suits, and school uniforms. Robert and his wife have been married for 34 years and have eight children and 11 grandchildren. When Robert is not working, he enjoys visiting with friends and sings tenor in his church choir.
Seven years ago, Robert developed a hernia in his groin, and the pain keeps him from playing with his grandchildren and impedes his work as a tailor.
Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $229 to cover the total cost of Robert’s surgery. He is scheduled to undergo hernia repair surgery on June 3.
“I would like to thank all the donors for this assistance,” says Robert. “And hope they continue providing assistance to others.”
