George is an 80-year-old man. He and his wife, Peace, live in a small town in Uganda. They have nine children and 20 grandchildren. George has worked hard all his life and still does a bit of digging in the garden. He likes to weave mats, which he sells to help buy supplies, like soap and sugar. George and his wife enjoy spending time with their grandchildren and sharing stories about the early days in their villages.
For the past four months, George has experienced pain from a swollen prostate gland, which has made passing urine very difficult. His doctor recommends removing the gland. George is scheduled to receive treatment on January 12, and our medical partner is requesting $314 to help fund his hospital stay and his surgery.
“If I could, I would write to the donors to say thank you very much for their help,” says George. “I will ask God to bless them.”
