“I don’t have big hopes for the future. All I know is that treatment will make me happy and that will be enough,” shares Naw Ku, a 55-year-old mother from Thailand.
Over the last few months, Naw Ku has been experiencing heart palpitations, dizzy spells, soreness, and heavy bleeding due to a large mass on her uterus. Our medical partner, Burma Border Projects, shared with us that “Naw Ku’s family is very supportive of her and doesn’t let her do any chores.” Without the ability to contribute to her family’s workload, however, Naw Ku feels “useless and depressed.”
In order to get Naw Ku back to being a productive and happy member of her household, the mass needs to be removed immediately and Naw Ku needs to see a gynecologist before her situation escalates. Unfortunately, neither Naw Ku nor her husband has a steady income, as he is a pastor and she is retired. While her three children work hard to support their parents, their income is not enough to cover the extra cost of Naw Ku’s healthcare needs.
Let’s raise $1,500 for Naw Ku’s medical treatment! Not only will this treatment keep her out of harm’s way, but it will keep her family whole and happy as well as restore Naw Ku’s self-worth.
