Jessa is a vibrant 23-year-old woman who lives in the Philippines with her parents and seven siblings. She has experienced severe abdominal pain for more than two years now — sometimes so severe that she collapses. Recently, Jessa received an ultrasound which showed she has a 22 cm ovarian cyst that is at risk of rupturing.
Jessa’s father is a farmer. He earns less than $550 per month, which he uses to support their entire family. Because of her cyst, Jessa is now unable to help around the house like she used to, and her father can’t even come close to affording the treatment she needs.
For $640, Jessa will receive an ovarian cystectomy to completely remove the tumor, allowing her to help support her family and enjoy a normal, pain-free life. Let’s do this!
