Help Candy Have Fibroid Surgery

In March, my husband rushed me to the hospital when my hemoglobin dropped to a 5.2, almost 7 points below the normal 12-15 range. I had to receive a transfusion and was diagnosed with anemia caused by uterine fibroids. Despite changes to diet and lifestyle, these fibroids have continued to grow rapidly, causing my chronic bleeding to become worse than ever. If left unchecked, these fibroids threaten my fertility and the bleeding threatens my life.

Help my mom, Elena, get the surgery she needs.
For the past three years my mom has suffered a great deal due to her having ovarian cysts and fibroids ( tumors that develop in a woman's uterus). Without medical insurance, she has paid out of pocket for countless doctor consultations, emergency room visits and medication over the past three years.

Samson is one of the people I had the great pleasure of becoming friends with during my time in Kenya a few summers ago. Over this past year, his family has really struggled to financially cover the costs of his wife's medical expenses due to the lockdown Kenya is experiencing. She has mast fibroids, which have been causing her to bleed profusely. Because of this, she needs a blood transfusion and a surgery to remove the fibroids.
