Social circumstances:
Mercyline is a single mother to her eight-year-old daughter, Anna, in Nairobi. She works as a laundress and is just about managing to make ends meet. The child’s father has not been seen for years. There are no other ‘well-wishers’.
Medical problem:
For about two years, Mercyline has been suffering from severe lower abdominal pain caused by a long-standing pelvic inflammatory infection (adnexitis). As a result, the physical labour mentioned above has now become too much for her. Last week she collapsed at work and has been out of work ever since, as she was sacked.
Mercyline needs a lower abdominal laparoscopy (or laparotomy) to break up inflammation-related adhesions and remove the suspected encapsulated collection of pus in her lower abdomen.
If you help Mercyline, you will not only relieve her pain but also enable her to earn the money that is vital for her small family!
