“Since 2010, Jane has been suffering from this condition. She went to a hospital and a scan was done which showed she has uterine fibroids and required surgery to treat,” says our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). “However, Jane did not have money for treatment.”
44-year-old Jane is a single mother of three children from Kenya. She works as a tailor, but her small income is not enough to cover any additional expenses beyond basic needs.
Jane needs a total abdominal hysterectomy to treat her uterine fibroids, and we can help make it possible. The surgery will cost $790. Included in the cost is Jane’s hospital stay, meals, laboratory testing, imaging, and anesthesia.
“I have been in pain for a long time and it is having a negative effect on my small business,” Jane shares. “I look forward to the day when I will get well and be able to work and support my family.”
