Daw Khin is a family-oriented woman who works hard to save for her future. She dreams of opening her own shop so that one day she can enjoy a relaxing and well-deserved retirement!
However, Daw Khin was recently diagnosed with myoma, a noncancerous but painful tumor in her uterus. Pain and discomfort prevent her from doing daily tasks like helping her husband with chores and cooking. She also has trouble eating and sleeping.
Daw Khin is hopeful that Watsi can help her. For $875, she can receive surgery to remove her uterus and prevent tumors from growing there in the future.
