Meet 17-year-old Paulina from Tanzania. She is one of seven children, and shares that she enjoys going to school and helping her mother with household chores.
Paulina has been diagnosed with a case of enlarged and infected tonsils. Paulina experiences pain and difficulty in breathing, and she suffers from regular fevers due to her infected tonsils. She has tried to manage the swelling with warm water and salt, but this only provides temporary relief.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, has scheduled Paulina for a tonsilectomy to remove her tonsils on July 20. With $633, we can help Paulina pay for her surgery.
“I cannot wait to get better. Thank you all for your kindness,” says Paulina.
