Tibenda is a 44-year-old married father of two, living in Uganda. He is a farmer who cultivates food for both home consumption and for sale.
About two years ago, Tibenda noticed a small swelling in his right groin. When he went to the hospital for a check-up, his swelling was diagnosed as a hernia and he was advised to have surgery. If not treated, Tibenda may suffer intestinal tissue pain.
Tibenda sought out our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, for treatment. He is now scheduled to undergo hernia repair surgery on June 7. The $249 to fund Tibenda’s surgery covers the total cost of his operation, including a three-night hospital stay, supplies, labs, and medication. After surgery, Tibenda hopes to continue with farming.
