Ofelia spends her time tending to her vegetable garden and chasing after her two animated children. But for the last eight months, Ofelia has been intermittently immobilized with pain and unable to leave her bed. She’s unable to do essential day to day tasks to care of her family.
Ofelia’s doctors found an ovarian cyst that needs immediate surgery. She needs a laparotomy to remove the cyst and possibly her whole ovary. But with her husband’s salary of $73 a month, they are unable to afford it.
Ofelia is hopeful when asking the Watsi community for help, “It is only with the help of a noble organisation that my dreams of having the surgery will be realized.” A donation of $122 will pay for Ofelia’s hospital fees, $194 will pay her surgeon, and $89 will cover the cost of her lab, blood, and medication costs. Let’s help get Ofelia out of bed and running with her kids again.
