Jane is a 49-year-old woman from the village of Nkanda in Malawi’s Central Region. Jane is an independent woman who lives alone and has one adult daughter. Jane has a small farm and a small business making clothes. When not tending her farm or creating clothing, Jane likes to spend time with her daughter, go to church, and watch films.
Jane has had gynecological problems for most of her life. In December of last year, her symptoms worsened, and she began experiencing bleeding and pain related to severe fibroids, benign growths in her uterus. To improve the quality of Jane’s life and bring her back to health, she requires pelvic surgery. On April 6, surgeons will perform a hysterectomy to remove her uterus. Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, requests $650 to fund Jane’s treatment.
Jane is ready to have her operation so she can be restored to full health and go back to her active life. To those helping make this operation a reality, she says, “Thank you for your help, donors!”
