Emmanuel is a teacher and father of seven children. Emmanuel teaches at a local school alongside his wife. Some of their children are out of school, but not yet employed while the others are still in school. At this time, Emmanuel is focused on farming so that he can provide for his children.
Emmanuel had swelling in a sensitive area for nearly three years. Emmanuel feels discomfort especially while walking and cannot sleep on his right side due to pain. Emmanuel first came to hospital in 2020 where he received oral medications that brought temporary relief. After further examination at our medical partner’s clinic, Emmanuel received a scan that showed a right inguinal scrotal hernia.
Doctors recommended Emmanuel receive a herniorrhaphy repair for complete recovery and prevention of further complications. Emmanuel is unable to afford the cost of his surgery on his own so our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is raising $230 so that he can receive this life altering surgery on September 6th. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow Emmanuel to live more comfortably and confidently.
Emmanuel shared, “I hope to have good health after am operated on and resume my duties of teaching and providing for my family without issues.”
