The doctor explained my condition carefully.
The fibroids were growing.
My symptoms were worsening.
Surgery was no longer optional.
It was necessary.
Then came the question I dreaded most.
"How much will it cost?"
The figure felt impossible.
I sat in silence.
I knew I didn't have the money.
Over the following weeks, I made difficult choices.
I sold personal belongings.
I borrowed from friends.
I depleted my savings.
I postponed other responsibilities.
Every day was a race against time.
I wasn't fighting only fibroids.
I was fighting poverty.
Unfortunately, this story is common across Africa.
Many women delay treatment because they simply cannot afford it.
Some live with debilitating symptoms for years.
Others become critically ill before receiving care.
Some never receive treatment at all.
Healthcare should not be a privilege reserved for a few.
Women's health matters.
Every woman deserves access to timely, affordable, and quality care.
At My Gynae Foundation, we have witnessed the transformative impact of financial support. A surgery funded is often more than a medical procedure.
- It is a restored future.
- A restored livelihood.
- A restored family.
- A restored sense of dignity.
No woman should have to sell everything she owns to save her life.
Together, we can change that reality.
