Peter is from Karanjee village in Kenya. He is married with three children. Peter works as a casual laborer and takes on whatever job is available, often construction projects.
13 years ago, Peter began to experience troubling symptoms, including difficulty in swallowing and slight swelling on the neck. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. He needs surgery to prevent his symptoms from getting worse.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Peter receive treatment. He is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on August 6th at our medical partner’s care center. Surgeons will remove all or part of his thyroid gland. This procedure will cost $657, and he and his family need help raising money.
Peter said quietly, “I am kindly asking for help because this problem is making me anxious, have problems sleeping, and I am afraid of the complications. My family is dependent on me and so I hope to be well again and support them.”
