Lydia is a cheerful woman who loves attending Sunday church services. Lydia is married and a mother to six children. Among her six children, two are teachers, two are nurses, and two are married and work as small-scale farmers. Lydia and her husband work hard as farmers so that their income can meet their daily needs.
A while back, Lydia began to experience troubling symptoms, including headache, stiff neck, persistent dry cough, and pain when turning her neck. Doctors diagnosed her condition as a bilateral goiter and surgery is recommended to prevent her symptoms from getting worse.
On November 4th, Lydia will undergo a thyroidectomy at our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH). Surgeons at AMH’s care center will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. AMH is requesting $252 to fund Lydia’s procedure.
Lydia shared “I will really be privileged to undergo my surgery under your support. I hope to continue with farming to sustain my family when am well.”
