Anésie, who lives with her family of five in a poor neighbourhood of the Burundian capital, Bujumbura, has now successfully undergone surgery in Nairobi for her brain tumour (meningioma), thanks to your donation.
She is solely responsible for five children – all young girls – and takes on odd jobs to make ends meet. Her financial situation is therefore extremely precarious.
Some time ago, Anésie suddenly noticed a loss of balance that was steadily getting worse. As if that were not enough, she began to experience increasingly frequent, brief episodes of loss of consciousness.
A CT scan of the head (‘the tube’), subsequently organised by the church, revealed a massive brain tumour: a so-called meningioma. This tumour is benign, meaning it does not metastasise, but its expansive growth causes irreversible damage to the brain, ultimately leading to death. It can therefore be cured by surgical removal.
Unfortunately, this is not possible in Bujumbura. The ‘Schönstadt Sisters’, a Catholic order active in socio-medical work in Burundi and with whom Tulisa has collaborated in the past (see ‘Liberate’s Second Life’ under the ‘Success Stories’ section), were able to organise treatment in Kenya.
Your donations made the flight and the neurosurgical treatment possible, thereby giving Anésie a new lease of life – Tulisa and the Schoenstatt Sisters extend their heartfelt thanks!
