“Ultimately, my dream is to return to good health and to have children with my husband,” shares Kyi, a 27-year-old woman from Burma.
Recently, Kyi was given an ultrasound at a local clinic. Her doctors discovered a fibroid, or benign tumor, in her uterus.
These growths are known to cause miscarriages and other fertility problems, a fact that has caused much stress to Kyi and her family. If untreated, the fibroid could also cause Kyi additional symptoms, such as pain and heavy menstrual bleeding further down the line.
To slow the fibroid’s growth, Kyi was prescribed medication, but it has not helped. Her doctors are now recommending that she undergo a surgical procedure to remove her fibroids.
Although Kyi is eager to begin this treatment plan, she cannot afford to pay for it on her own. She and her husband earn their living by helping her parents on the family farm, but this does not leave them with much income for unforeseen expenses.
Fortunately, we can bridge the gap for $960. This sum will cover Kyi’s operation on July 20, as well as the necessary lab tests, five-day hospital stay, and pre- and post-operative appointments.
Let’s make sure that Kyi has the opportunity to one day become a mother.
