Kyobutungi is a student from Uganda. She is the third born in a family of four children. Her mother operates a ladies’ hair dressing salon, which she says is located deep in the village. Because of the location, she gets few customers thus earning little profit. Her father is a private primary school teacher who teaches in a small nearby school and his salary can only enable him to sustain a living for the family.
Kyobutingi lives in a family-owned three roomed semi-permanent house in which she stays together with her parents, two brothers, and one baby sister. She came to the hospital with her mother. She has a mass over her right eye for the past two years. The mass is painful on touch and causes her eye to itch.
Kyobutungi traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On April 14th, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Kyobutungi needs help to raise $187 to fund this procedure.
Kyobutungi’s mother shared, “I hope that my daughter will be well after her surgery is done.”
