Hillary is a 26-year-old salesman from southwest Uganda. He is the first born in a family of three and the only one who has completed his education. He graduated with a diploma in business management and currently works on commission as a salesman. He has to stretch his earned commission to help his mother pay for his younger siblings’ school fees. His mother is a primary school teacher.
Hillary has been living with a swelling on his left ear since he was seven years. The swelling was not painful enough to seek treatment. However, he has always avoided sleeping on his left side. Recently, the swell has become painful and so he finally came to Nyakibale Hospital for review. Doctors shared that he needs an excision to remove the mass, but Hillary is not able to raise the funds needed on his own.
On May 10th, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Hillary needs help to raise $137 to fund this procedure.
Hillary says: “I hope to have this swelling removed so that I can be able to lead a normal lifestyle again.”
