Tumumpe is a 48-year-old man who is married and a father of eight. Seven of his children are in school, and one is married. He enjoys being around friends and sharing stories.
A year ago, Tumumpe started feeling pain in the right inguinal region, and later developed swelling in the same area. Due to the pain, he is unable to ride a bicycle, to lift heavy items, and to dig.
He visited a hospital where he was diagnosed with a hernia. He was advised to have surgery, but he couldn’t afford to pay for it. He then went to a government hospital to seek for free surgery, but he couldn’t access a surgeon.
For $249, Tumumpe will undergo the hernia repair surgery that he needs to be healthy. After surgery, he hopes to continue digging to produce food for his family, and dreams of starting a retail shop if he can raise capital.

Tumumpe successfully received hernia repair surgery.
Tumumpe is doing great and his surgery was a success. He is currently at home resting with his family, and already feeling so much better. He has shared that he feels much less pain now and is more calm and peaceful. Now that his hernia has been repaired, he is no longer at risk of intestinal incarceration, obstruction, or strangulation.
“I feel better. I don’t feel the pain I used to have.” says Tumumpe. “After recovery I will be able to dig, ride a bicycle and sometimes walk long distances. I extend my thanks to all the donors paid for my surgery and to those who have given me treatment in the ward. God bless everyone.”
