Tibeingana is a 69-year-old farmer, a widow, and a mother of 6. Her husband passed away in 2013, and she has been on her own since then. During her free time, she enjoys working in her farm.
Five months ago, Tibeingana began to experience troubling symptoms, including severe abdominal pains, vomiting and loss of appetite. She was diagnosed with an intestinal obstruction, and needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Tibeingana receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a curative laporotomy, a surgery to remove cancerous tissue, on April 1st at our medical partner’s care center. This procedure will cost $284, and Tibeingana and her family need your support.
Tibeingana shared, “I pray for a successful surgery. I am helpless and in pain; I have lost hope. Once given treatment, I will resume farming to be able to take good care of myself.”
