Namnyaki is a 24-year-old woman who works as a housekeeper to support her family.
Since birth, Namnyaki has had a large benign mass on her neck. The mass is painful, uncomfortable to the touch, and has been increasing in size. Namnyaki is worried about further discomfort from the enlarged mass. She sought treatment in the past, but these treatments were not successful in relieving her discomfort.
On February 12, Namnyaki will undergo surgery to remove the entire mass from her neck. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is asking for $920 to fund the surgery.
Namnyaki is excited to work without experiencing pain from the back of her neck. She says, “I hope that I will be able to live a life without worry. If this surgery is successful, I will be able to work harder in life.”
