Sharon is a 24-year-old woman from a village in Uganda, and is ready to deliver her first baby. She is a tailor, and mends clothes in her community and torn uniforms for the local school children. Her husband Nicholas is a subsistence farmer and grows bananas, maize and beans. When they need extra earnings they work as farm labors in the community.
During her free time, Sharon likes going to church and visiting her friends and she has also recently started teaching tailoring skills to her neighbor. Even though she is a tailor, her income is not enough to support her hospital fees to have the C-section she needs for a safe delivery.
Sharon needs a C-section because she is past due and her baby is in a breech position. For $258, she will receive the care she needs for a safe delivery.
Sharon looks forward to taking care of her child and sending him/her to school when her baby turns five years old.
“I wish to thank the donors that support people like me in the community to have a safe delivery. May God continue to bless you abundantly!” shared Sharon.
