Meet Jacenta, a 45-year-old married mother from Uganda. She lives with her husband and four of her youngest children. Jacenta enjoys spending time with her children after school and hearing about their days. When she is not working on her small farm, Jacenta can be found listening to the radio.
Jacenta visited our medical partner’s care center to seek advice about the bleeding and pain she has been experiencing. Doctors at our medical partner’s care center, Bwindi Community Hospital, found abnormal lesions on her cervix and have now recommended Jacenta for a total abdominal hysterectomy.
Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, has arranged for Jacenta to undergo her surgery on July 29. Jacenta and her husband have been able to contribute $7 but need our help to pay for the remaining $321.
“I thank all the donors very much for their help. It is a great blessing,” says Jacenta.
