Patricia is a 57-year-old single mother of two. Until recently, she supported her family by working as a laborer on a tea plantation. Unfortunately, Patricia was forced to stop working when she began suffering from irregular and heavy uterine bleeding, abdominal pain, and weakness.
A good Samaritan brought Patricia to the hospital and paid for her ultrasound, which found uterine fibroids (noncancerous tumors) and other large masses around her ovaries, but they could not pay for the surgery she needs to prevent potentially fatal developments.
For $900, Patricia can have her uterus and ovaries surgically removed to stop her prolonged pain and bleeding and prevent the development of cancer. Her doctors are confident this will help her live the normal, productive, and independent life she deserves. Let’s help Patricia get well again!
