Jude is a hardworking businessman from Uganda. He is the father of two sons and four daughters, all of whom are in school. He pays for each of their school fees to ensure they are able to obtain an education. After completing his diploma in agriculture, Jude was unable to secure a job in his field of study and thus decided to venture into business, trading bananas in southwest Uganda, while his wife cares for their children in central Uganda.
Eight years ago, Jude noticed a small pimple on his right side near the axilla, or armpit. The pimple progressively grew in size and is currently a large mass. This mass is causing him to experience pain, discomfort, and difficulty when attempting to use his right arm and hand. He was diagnosed with right large axillary lipoma, and his doctor recommended that he undergo surgery to remove the tumor.
Jude traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On August 3rd, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Jude needs help raising $188 to fund this procedure.
Jude says, “When given a chance to be operated on under your support, all the pain I have been having will reduce. I hope to get better and continue with my business in good health to sustain my family.”
