Veneranda is an 80-year-old widow from Uganda. She lives with her grandson and grows crops for their consumption. Veneranda also has a small plot of land dedicated to tea plants, the leaves of which provide a small income.
When she is not farming, Veneranda enjoys keeping busy by weaving mats and baskets from local grasses. Veneranda enjoys visiting with family members who live nearby, especially her children and grandchildren.
Recently, Veneranda has experienced a great deal of pain. After seeking help, physicians discovered a cervical sebaceous cyst. The cyst prevents her from sitting and moving comfortably. Her doctors have recommended a cyst removal procedure.
Our medical partner, The Kellerman Foundation, has requested $196 to fund her surgery, which is scheduled for April 1. The surgery should relieve her pain. She is excited and thankful to be receiving the surgery.
“I thank the donors for supporting me,” she says. “May God bless them.”
