Leah is a 22-year-old university student majoring in education. Studying in the city of Fort Portal, she plans to teach secondary-school geography and history when she graduates. Leah enjoys reading, playing netball and volleyball, and listening to music.
Since birth, Leah has had lumps in her breasts. As she has gotten older, these lumps have grown in size and now cause her significant discomfort. The tumors are benign, but doctors at our medical partner’s care center, Bwindi Community Hospital, recommend that they be removed. Leah’s older sister, who has the same condition, brought Leah to our medical partner, The Kellerman Foundation, for help.
Leah is scheduled to undergo mass excision surgery on January 13. Our medical partner is requesting $198 to cover the cost of surgery, medication, labs, and three nights of hospital stay.
“Please tell the donors how much I appreciate them,” says Leah. “I wish I could meet them to say thank you in person and hope the Lord blesses them.”
