This is Christine, a 55-year-old woman from western Kenya. She lives in a rural village with her husband and eight children. She and her husband are hard workers who support their large family by working as farmers.
Two years ago, after experiencing heavy bleeding and abdominal pain, Christine found out that she had uterine fibroids, noncancerous tumors on her uterus. Due to this condition, Christine has become increasingly weak and uncomfortable.
Christine says, “I want to get my strength back so that I can take care of my children.”
For $885, we can help Christine to get a full hysterectomy, a procedure that will remove her uterus and the tumors in it, and decrease the risk that she will develop future tumors. Let’s help decrease daily pain for this hardworking, caring mom!
