Atugonza is a young student from Uganda. She is the second born in a family of four children. She is studying hard because she wants to become a nurse in the future.
For two years, Atugonza has had an umbilical hernia. This hernia is causing her pain and discomfort and if not treated, she may suffer intestinal tissue damage. Fortunately, on September 12, she will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $249 to fund Atugonza’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and confidently.
Her mother says, “After the surgery of my daughter I will be happy and she will resume with her studies without anything disturbing her.”
