“I need to be able to work to take care of my family, but I can’t work with this pain,” Naunt tells us.
42-year-old Naunt is a mother and farmer from Burma. About two months ago, she started experiencing severe abdominal pain. She had to stop working, and her husband quit his job to care for her and the farm. This has caused even more of a financial burden for their family.
Naunt was diagnosed with cervical fibroids. She was referred to our medical partner, Burma Border Projects (BBP) after she stopped pursuing medical care elsewhere due to a lack of resources. For $1500, BBP can perform the necessary surgery to stop Naunt’s pain and remove the fibroids.
After surgery, Naunt will be able to work again and care for her sons. She will no longer live with the mental distress that accompanies her illness.
“I hope that surgery will allow my husband to return to work, and that we can begin to save for the future again,” she tells us.
Let’s help fund this important surgery for Naunt!

Naunt had surgery to remove cervical fibroids.
“Naunt only feels a little bit of pain over the wound,” her doctor at Burma Border Projects reports. “She has no other symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, soreness, or whole body aches. She now feels comfortable generally and is able to walk around. She still has stitches on her abdomen, and the wound is still healing. Her family has been in debt because of her disease before, but now Naunt feels that she could go back to work on the farm again after she goes home.”
“Thank you so much. Without your support, I could never afford the surgery,” Naunt tells us. “I really feel a lot better now. Thank you. Thank you very much.”
