Christine has a joyful smile that lights up a room. She is a teacher and a mother of four daughters, three of whom are in school still. She used to teach at a private school but since Covid-19 struck, she lost her job. She has been homeschooling children from her neighborhood while her husband tends to the farm to make ends meet. The family lives in a two-roomed rental house but desires to build their own at some point.
For three years, Christine has been experiencing backache and lower abdominal pain and anaemia. In a short span of time, she has been transfused twice. She came to Nyakibale Hospital for examination and doctors have diagnosed her with abnormal uterine bleeding. She needs a hysterectomy to help alleviate the pain.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Christine’s surgery. On December 8th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Once recovered, Christine will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Christine says “I really want to get well and continue hustling for my children however my finances don’t allow me. I kindly ask you to help me fund my surgery.”
