Pyae is a 29-year-old woman who lives with her family in a village in Kawkareik Township, Karen State, Burma. Pyae and her husband are farmers growing a paddy on a plot of rented land.
A few months ago, Pyae felt a mass in her abdomen. She began to experience dizziness and nausea. She cannot work, and her movements are impeded.
She visited our medical partner’s care center for treatment. An ultrasound showed a big mass in her uterus. Now, she is scheduled for a CT scan on October 16. Her CT scan will cost $414. Pyae and her family are appealing to Watsi for financial assistance.
Pyae says, “I feel stressed for myself and my children. I am not able to take care of them now. I hope to go back to farming, plant the paddy and feed my children. If not, my children will have no food.”
After her scan, Pyae’s doctors will be able to fully treat Pyae and help her recover from her condition.
