Meet Selina, a hard-working 55-year-old widow and mother of seven children from Kenya. Though three of her children have married and live on their own, Selina still fully provides for the youngest four children by running a small farm where she grows maize to sell at the market.
“Selina has a distended abdomen due to an abdominal mass that has been growing for almost seven years,” report our medical partners at African Mission Healthcare Foundation. “If surgery is not done, the mass could continue growing and might become cancerous.”
Selina and her relatives have tried to raise money for treatment for Selina, but cannot raise the full amount needed. For $800 we can add to the money Selina and her family already raised to fund a total abdominal hysterectomy. After the surgery, Selina will no longer experience the pain nor cancer risk associated with her abdominal mass.
“I want to own my own home and ensure that my young children have quality education so that they can have brighter futures,” shares Selina. Let’s help Selina return to work so that she can realize her dream!
