Lydia is a 27 year old student from Uganda. She is pursuing a certificate in medical records. She is married and has one child who is nine years old and in primary school class two. Her husband owns a retail shop and supports her financially in her studies as he takes care of their child. They rent a single-room brick house for shelter.
About eight months ago, Lydia became concerned about a painless mass in her left breast. Currently, she is pregnant and worried that it may develop into cancer. She has visited Rushoroza Hospital, and an excision was recommended but she cannot afford the expenses.
Lydia traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On December 13th, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Lydia needs help to raise $145 to fund this procedure.
Lydia says, “I believe that after the surgery I will be able to live a more comfortable life, be able to proceed with studies, and be ready to breastfeed my expected baby.”
