Esther is a small-scale farmer from Kenya. She used to work in her small village farm for subsistence and her husband worked as a chef in a city restaurant. However, with the closure of businesses currently due to COVID, they have limited finances.
Two years ago, Esther has been experiencing lower abdominal pain, back pain and fatigue. She has been diagnosed with a swollen abdominopelvic mass. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $832 to fund Esther’s surgery. On June 12th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Once recovered, Esther will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Esther shared hopefully, “My desire is to be treated and regain back my strength.”
