“Thank you for the support,” says Folopezi, a 58-year-old man from central Malawi.
Folopezi earns his living as a farmer. When he isn’t working on his farm, he loves just being at home and chatting with his wife.
For the past few months, Folopezi has been experiencing pain due to hernias on both sides of his pelvic region. Both are inguinal hernias, meaning that that part of his soft tissue has pushed through a weak spot in his abdominal wall.
Folopezi’s discomfort will likely not go away unless he gains access to medical treatment soon. He also risks developing life-threatening consequences, such as bowel obstruction or tissue death.
Fortunately, for $334, we can connect Folopezi with the hernia repair operation he needs. This amount will cover his surgery on August 8, as well as his lab tests, day-long hospital stay, and travel to and from the medical center.
Folopezi is grateful to have been able to gain access to this life-saving surgery.
