Geoffrey is a retired teacher who lives from a modest government pension he received upon retirement. Geoffrey’s wife is also a retired teacher and they now both do small scale farming. Geoffrey has seven children and loves reading the newspaper.
Geoffrey was diagnosed at a local district hospital with a left inguinal hernia. The hernia causes Geoffrey pain that prevents him from doing strenuous work. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is seeking $170 to fund Geoffrey’s hernia repair surgery at Rushoroza Hospital on February 10th. Once completed, this procedure will allow him to live more comfortably and confidently.
Geoffrey says, “My condition is currently worrying and anything could happen if not treated on time. I hope to continue with my usual duties around the house and be able to continue taking good care of my home once given treatment.”
