Okwilo is a farmer from Uganda. He is married and a father of three children.
Since 2015, Okwilo has had an epigastric hernia. This hernia causes him pain. If not treated, it could result in intestinal tissue damage. Fortunately, on July 25, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $249 to fund Okwilo’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently.
He says, “After surgery I will have peace of mind and resume farming.”
