Pascal is a 76-year-old father from Kashenyi, Uganda. Pascal and his wife are small farmers who grow coffee and tea, and live with their five children and 15 grandchildren. When not picking coffee, Pascal walks to the gardens with his grandchildren and tells them hunting stories from when he was younger.
Over the past month, Pascal’s prostate has become enlarged and has caused him a lot of pain. He tried taking pain relief drugs, but they didn’t improve his condition. He finally visited our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, where they informed him that his prostate should be removed.
Pascal is scheduled to have his prostate removed on May 3. Although he has been able to save $7.00 to supplement his treatment, he is still in need of $314 to cover the total cost of his procedure.
While many men have retired at his age, after his surgery, Pascal looks forward to getting healthy and going back to work on his farm with his grandchildren again.
“I thank the donors for helping pay for my surgery. I could not afford the costs due to not having a stable income or even making enough to meet my house needs. God is rewarding me for the good deeds I did in my younger days. I was not sure of what to do about the surgery,” explains Pascal.
