Wezak is a farmer from Malawi. Wezak lives with his wife, and they have seventeen grown children. Wezak can no longer work in the fields with his sons, so he raises chickens. In his free time, he likes to sit and spend quality time with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
Since November 2017, Wezak has been experiencing pain and urinary difficulty. These symptoms are caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. He needs to undergo a prostate resection surgery, a procedure in which surgeons will remove part of the enlarged gland.
Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $733 to fund Wezak’s surgery. On January 9, he will undergo prostate surgery at Nkhoma Hospital, our medical partner’s care center. The requested money pays for supplies, medications, and two weeks of hospital stay. Wezak and his family were thrilled to find out his surgery would be funded. The family is looking forward to having their husband and dad home healthy and well.
He says, “Thank you so much—this is a great gift.”
