Patricia is a 58-year-old woman from Malawi who works with her three grown children to farm the family land. When Patricia is not working and caring for her home, she likes to just spend time with her kids.
Patricia has been suffering from uterine fibroids, which are benign tumors that grow in the uterus. They have caused her to be unable to work properly, and it has been suggested that she undergo a hysterectomy, or a removal of her uterus.
Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $650 to cover the cost of Patricia’s surgery. The procedure is scheduled to take place on July 4 and, once completed, will hopefully allow Patricia to live more comfortably again.
“Thank you for the support,” says Patricia.
