22 year old Mackline lives with her husband and child in Uganda. Mackline is currently expecting her second child. Her doctors are recommending that she deliver via a Caesarean section, because of the high risk of her pregnancy. A Caesarean section will prevent complications, such as a uterine rupture, and is the best way to ensure the safety of both Mackline and the baby. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Mackline undergo a C-section on September 6th, at Karoli Lwanga Hospital, Nyakibale. This procedure will cost $252, and Mackline and her family need your support. Mackline says: “With your support, I hope for a successful delivery and I hope for a healthy baby.”

Rosette, who is a small-scale farmer, is 45 years old, and the mother of four young children. Rosette's husband is also a farmer, and together, they work hard to make ends meet for their family. For two years now, Rosette has been experiencing severe, lower abdominal pain, which has made it difficult for her to perform her daily tasks efficiently. Due to the family's financial constraints, however, she has been unable to seek medical attention. Now, due to the worsening of her condition, and the appearance of additional symptoms, Rosette has become concerned that she might have cancer. After finally being evaluated, she was diagnosed with a premalignant cervical lesion, which requires surgical intervention. On July 13th, Rosette will undergo a total abdominal hysterectomy at Karoli Lwanga Hospital, Nyakibale. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Rosette's surgery. Once she has recovered, Rosette will be able to resume her daily activities, free of pain. Rosette says: “I have been in much pain with worsening condition, and it has lowered my social life. I appeal for your support so that I can live well as I resume with farming.”

Jaiden is a one-month-old baby boy from Tanzania. He is the first child in his family, and his parents shared their deep love and care for Jaiden and his health. Jaiden's mother sells African fabric, commonly known as "vitenge," and his father works as a policeman. Jaiden was born with clubfoot of both feet. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape, which causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes. Jaiden's father has government health insurance and has been trying to get Jaiden enrolled, too. However, they were disappointed to learn that this condition is not covered by insurance and are requesting financial assistance. On July 25th, Jaiden will undergo clubfoot repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $935 to fund Jaiden's clubfoot repair. After treatment, he will be able to walk easily as he continues to grow! Jaiden's father says: "I really want my baby to have his feet treated, but I cannot afford it, and the insurance doesn't cover the cost."
