Dah is a 68-year-old woman from Burma. She retired from farming, and now her adopted son supports her.
For over two months, Dah has been experiencing urinary difficulty and discomfort while walking or sitting. She has been diagnosed with a prolapsed uterus. She has been advised to undergo a total abdominal hysterectomy, the surgical removal of her uterus and cervix. If left untreated, Dah’s symptoms will continue to worsen and put her at risk for further health complications in the future.
Fortunately, Dah is scheduled to undergo her hysterectomy on November 8. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to cover the total cost of her procedure and care. Once recovered, she will be able sit or walk without discomfort.
Dah says, “I would like to stay at home and just rest for a while.”
