“I want to be well and cancer free,” shares Eunice, a 31-year-old woman from Kenya.
In September 2015 doctors from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF), found that Eunice had a precancerous lesion in her cervix. They performed a biopsy procedure and it has been determined that if left untreated Eunice is at risk of developing cervical cancer.
Eunice is a wife and mother of three children. She lives with her family in a single-roomed rental house in Kenya. Eunice sells fish while her husband works as a cook to support the family. Their family income is low and they are not able to meet the treatment cost.
Eunice is in need of a total abdominal hysterectomy to remove her uterus and reduce her risk of cancer.
$800 will fund Eunice’s surgery, and a four-day hospital stay to ensure a proper recovery.
