Social circumstances:
Eunice Akinyi is a single mother to a two-year-old toddler and a seven-month-old baby. Her husband left her after it emerged during antenatal check-ups that she is HIV-positive.
Eunice occasionally takes on odd jobs, such as doing laundry, to try to keep herself and her children afloat. She does not always succeed. The baby, in particular, has been ill from time to time due to poor nutrition since she stopped breastfeeding at six months.
Medical issue:
After the birth, Eunice went for a cervical cancer screening, which is offered free of charge by an NGO in Kibera. When she collected her test results two weeks later, it turned out that she had abnormal cells in her cervix. This could develop into cancer, with all the associated consequences. Further investigation and, if necessary, the initiation of appropriate treatment are therefore urgently required. The patient does not have the money to pay for further diagnostic tests and treatment.
Eunice would so much like to be there for her children. We want to ensure she receives appropriate diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, and for that we need your help – now!
