Alice is a humble lady of few words from Uganda. She is a mother of two, both delivered by Caesarean section, with the firstborn in 2018 and the second in 2019. Both of her children are currently studying. As the firstborn and a double orphan in a family of three, Alice had to take care of her siblings first. Her brother is a teacher, and her sister is in business. This delayed her marriage, as she got married at 28 years old. Additionally, she initially faced challenges getting pregnant for several years after marriage. Due to a lack of school fees, she only completed senior four but did not proceed with further education.
Alice makes a living through farming, but due to limited land, she mainly grows food crops for home consumption and sells off the surplus to generate income for the family. She nowadays feels slight abdominal pain whenever she engages in strenuous activities. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family.
She is currently expecting her third child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Alice undergo a C-Section on December 28th. This procedure will cost $252, and Alice needs your support. Her income is insufficient to cover the expenses needed for her surgery, and she therefore appeals for your support.
Alice says, “I hope to deliver well, in good health, and I expect the best of my delivery once I am given a chance to deliver under your support.”
