Robina is a 26-year-old woman from Uganda. She visited our medical partner’s care center, Bwindi Community Hospital, when she was expecting her third child. Because she delivered both of her first two children by C-section, her doctors decided that she needed to undergo a third C-section to ensure a safe delivery. On November 11, Robina checked into the hospital to await delivery.
Robina and her husband, David, are both subsistence farmers who grow beans, bananas, and maize. They also work on other farms to earn money to support their two sons. However, they need help to raise $258 to fund Robina’s care.
Robina and David enjoy watching their two boys play happily. In her free time, Robina enjoys meeting with other women in the community to discuss important issues.
Robina told our medical partner that she hoped her third child would be a daughter. “I want to thank the people supporting my delivery,” she says.
