Story

I recently visited Zimbabwe and while delivering clothes to a struggling village I met Esnut, a 57 year old wife and mother, living in the rural village with few means.

Esnut has thyroid goiters, enlargement of the thyroid gland. This is a very treatable condition which she urgently needs surgery for.

Sadly Esnut and her family have no means to raise these funds for her surgery. With unemployment nearing 90% and farm wages less than $4 USD per day, the only hope she has is this campaign.

Please help me to raise the funds for Esnut's surgery. It will save and change her life and that of her family.

Thank you.

Thank you very much to Esnut's supporters. I am pleased to say that Esnut has now seen a consultant and we have a date for her surgery! So far we have raised a fantastic £2,000. We now need a final push to raise the last bit to cover the cost of the surgery and ongoing medication. Since this page has now closed, I have set up a new page to donate to. Thanks again everyone, Zoe (on Esnut's behalf)!

Esnut was delighted to receive the news that we will be helping her. She's started having problems breathing when she's sleeping so help can't come soon enough. We will do a final push over the next few weeks to raise the rest of the funds needed for the surgery but in the meantime Esnut will be attending her first appointment soon.

Cake Bake Success!!! I'm so happy to say that we raised an amazing £147 from the cake bake sale and with an extra £20 donation we now have £167 to add to the fund! :) Thank you to Everyone at Pell Frischmann for their support, especially those who contributed cakes and those who ate lots!! :) I am sending the funds (rounded up to £200) straight to Zimbabwe, where it will go directly to the hospital and taxi company to get Esnut her first appointment. I have therefore reduced the target on this page by £200. Well done everyone! :)
