Meet Naw Mu! Naw Mu is a 40-year-old woman living with her husband and five children in a refugee camp along the Thai-Burma border. Naw Mu and her husband occasionally earn $5 a day for providing day labor. However, they rely on food rations provided by the camp. Camp rations have recently decreased and Naw Mu has taken care of the household so that her husband can work away from the camp.
After the birth of her fifth child ten years ago, Naw Mu began experiencing the early symptoms of kidney stones. These symptoms include back pain, pain along the right side of her body, hot flashes, full body fatigue, and recurring urinary track infections. Her symptoms have worsened and she currently has difficulty doing day-to-day chores.
We’re raising $1330 to treat Naw Mu’s kidney stones. With this treatment, Naw Mu will be relieved of her painful symptoms and will be able to work and relieve some of the financial stress her family is under.
