Maria, a 40-year-old woman from Bolivia, is a dedicated mother of several young children. She works very hard to take care of her family, but because of a recent health condition, this has become more difficult.
Maria’s doctor at Watsi’s medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, tells us, “Maria has a large growth on her upper arm that is extremely painful and growing rapidly. Because of how rapid it was growing, and because it felt very firm, we were actually initially concerned that it was a cancer and we did a biopsy which fortunately was positive only for lipoma, a benign condition. However, she is still having tons of pain and she needs a procedure to remove the growth.”
Maria is looking forward to having this surgery and returning back to her family pain-free, and for $220 we can make this a reality! Let’s help her get the care she deserves.

Maria received surgery to remove a benign tumor.
Here’s what her doctors had to say about Maria’s progress since the surgery:
“The tumor was successfully and completely removed, and she feels much less pain than before (still a bit of pain from the surgery, but that is getting better every day). The final cosmetic outcome is also quite good, and she’s happy to get rid of the unsightly, rapidly growing lump.”
“Maria wanted to thank all the donors for making this happen,” Watsi’s medical partner writes. “She’s been waiting several years for a solution to this problem, and she’s very glad to have it over! She is very relieved that she doesn’t have cancer and that she is ‘cured.’”
