“I want to save and buy land so that I can give my children a place they can call home,” says Elizabeth.
Meet Elizabeth, a 40-year-old single mother of four from Kenya who has early stage cervical cancer. “Elizabeth suffers from severe side pains. If the surgery is not done soon, the cancer will spread to other organs and this would lead to premature death,” says our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF).
“Elizabeth was abandoned by the father of her children and left to take care of the children alone. Elizabeth works as a casual farm hand and has rented a quarter acre of land where she has planted potatoes to enable her to provide for her children. Elizabeth is not able to raise the full amount of money needed for her treatment,” continues AMHF.
For $800, we can fund an abdominal hysterectomy – the ideal treatment for her cancer. This procedure will save her life and allow her to support her family once again.
AMHF concludes, “We expect that the surgery will save Elizabeth’s life and she will be cancer free. Elizabeth will be able to focus on achieving her dream.”
