Meet Glorious, a 41-year-old woman who is happily waiting for her first born child. Glorious lives in in a village in Uganda, and works as a subsistence farmer growing, beans, cassava, potatoes and maize. Her husband Innocent grazes goats in addition to growing beans and maize. Innocent and Glorious produce food enough for the family, which is not enough to sell to support Glorious’ treatment.
During her free time, Glorious enjoys associating with other ladies in the community loans associations where she borrows money at a low interest rate. She uses the loans to buy seeds for her gardens. During her leisure time, Glorious enjoys praising God, telling legendary stories to her association members in meetings, and listening to radio programs–especially political and health programs.
Glorious’ pregnancy is considered high risk because of her age and the big size of her baby. The doctors recommend that she has a C-section with antenatal care. For $258, Glorious will receive the treatment she needs to deliver a healthy baby.
Glorious is looking forward to nursing her baby and returning to subsistence farming. Her dream is to have her child be educated.
“I thank donors for supporting my treatment, and pray to God to open ways for them to get more money to support other people who struggle hard to get treatment but cannot afford,” shared Glorious.
