This is Lilia, a 30-year-old mother from the Philippines. Lilia required a caesarian section to deliver her first child but, unfortunately, her scar did not heal properly, resulting in a large, painful abdominal hernia. Now pregnant again, Lilia’s daily activities are hindered by her hernia, and she needs another caesarian section to ensure a safe delivery.
Lilia belongs to an indigenous tribal group in the southern part of the Philippines. She and her husband work as farmers and earn about $10 a month. Due to Lilia’s need for treatment, they say, “we have been knocking at doors looking for help and thank you for your compassion.”
Let’s work together to help Lilia raise $1,060 for a hernia repair and caesarian section.
