Charles is a 52-year-old motorcycle taxi driver from Uganda. Charles is married and is the father of nine children.
For the past six years, Charles has been living with a hernia that has only gotten more painful over time. The pain he feels from his hernia has made him stop driving his motorcycle, and has seriously affected his income.
Seeking treatment, Charles was referred to our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation. He is scheduled to undergo hernia repair surgery on May 5, and is requesting $229 to cover the total cost of his procedure.
After his surgery, he hopes to get back to work to be able to provide for his family. “Bwindi Hospital has very excellent services,” says Charles. “I thank the donors for helping me to have treatment here. I know I will be well taken care of. May God bless you.”
