Gorette is an ambitious and motivated elderly woman who has three children. She currently supports her family through subsistence farming; however, she is determined to start her own business in the future. She hopes that one day she can gather enough capital to open up a small retail shop.
A year ago, Gorette developed a hernia in her groin area. She experiences pain, especially when doing strenuous activities. In order to alleviate her pain and prevent the hernia from growing and causing further issues, Gorette must undergo surgery. However, due to financial constraints, she cannot fund the surgery alone.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Gorette receive treatment. On July 5th, she will undergo hernia repair surgery at AMH’s care center.
Our medical partner is requesting $230 to fund Gorette’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and confidently.
Gorette says, “With this condition, I have always had a difficult time, but I hope that once operated on, things will surely get better.”
