Story
My step mother in Kenya, Debora Owuor was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Since she had little money, she decided to try and get treatment at a government hospital which would not cost too much.
After a number of successful chemotherapy sessions, she was then scheduled for surgery. However, there was a doctors strike in Kenya and she has since been unable to get further treatment.
This doctors strike is now in its 60th day and without urgent treatment, her cancer would have spread. Even when the doctors strike finishes, Debora will be in a queue another few months away from life saving treatment.
The tragedy here is that if caught early, breast cancer is very survivable in the Western world. Unfortunately, Debora's life is now in the hands of politicians and the administrative procedures in Kenyan government hospitals.
We would like to raise the money needed for Debora to receive the right treatment from a private hospital in Kenya.
Any contribution will help to save her life.
