Korugyendo is a small scale farmer from Uganda. She is a mother of ten children; five of whom are still in school. Three of her children are married and are small scale farmers, and two dropped out of school and are casual laborers.
For the last three years, Korugyendo has experienced pain and discomfort in her chest. Upon seeking care, she has been diagnosed with a mass on the left side of her chest that needs to be removed.
Unfortunately, this procedure is costly for Korugyendo and her family. She and her husband are both farmers. Despite having a low income, the couple still has a lot of responsibilities in terms of care and school fees for their children. With their youngest child at 6 years old, they will continue to need to support their children as they grow up. Korugyendo appeals for financial help for her procedure.
Korugyendo traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On November 13th surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Korugyendo needs help to raise $145 to fund this procedure.
Korugyendo shared, “I will resume farming as soon as possible to be able to take good care of my family.”
