Enid is a 48-year-old woman from Uganda. She and her husband are small-scale farmers. She shared that she has been blessed with four children who are in both secondary and primary school.
Four years ago, a pimple-like swelling appeared on her upper medial mid-arm, and has steadily increased in size. The swelling makes Enid feel disfigured, and she no longer wears long-sleeved shirts or blouses. Now she can’t lift anything, and she cannot wash and prepare food. If not treated, she will have persistent swelling and pain.
Enid had not visited any health facility to treat the condition, as she was using herbs to manage the condition. She visited Nyakibale Hospital where she was diagnosed with a lipoma, and excision treatment was recommended to finally help her heal. On November 8th, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Enid needs help to raise $137 to fund this procedure.
Enid says “I will be happy after receiving this treatment with your support so that I can live a normal life again with new hope to support my family through farming.”
