Social circumstances:
Harriet works as a nursery teacher and, due to the current closure of schools and nurseries as a result of Covid-19, has not received a salary since April this year. Following her mother’s death, she has taken on her mother’s domestic responsibilities for her younger sister and now has to find a way to keep her small family afloat.
Medical history:
Since birth, Harriet has suffered – in addition to chronic hepatitis B – from an umbilical hernia, which has grown larger over time. Parts of her intestine are now clearly palpable through the abdominal wall.
She must therefore wear a hernia support garment every day.
To prevent strangulation or direct injury to the intestinal loops, this abdominal wall defect should be repaired as soon as possible.
With your help, this will finally be possible after 37 years!
