| Description |
<p>For the last three years I have volunteered at Mercer Catholic Women's Center Fistula Unit in Ghana West Africa. This center is the largest in Sub Sahara Africa. This center opened its doors in 2009 due to a overwhelming needs for women suffering with obstetric fistula. The Fistula center treats women in Ghana and neighboring countries who suffer from this condition. There are over 200 women on the waiting list. These funds would benefit the ladies that are on the list waiting to be healed. </p>
<p/>
<p>In order to achieve the results, the center is looking for contributions to evaluate, treat and perform life changing surgeries. I have raised money for 21 surgeries in the past two years.</p>
<p>May 20th, 2023, nine patients were operated on for surgery. The results were eight women were successfully healed after surgery. </p>
<p>The grant money will be used to ship adult diapers and toiletries for women that are awaiting surgery. It will also be used to help pay for surgeries and to make cosmetic updates to the center. </p>
<p/>
<p>I filmed a seventeen-minute documentary earlier this year on fistula center in Ghana. I can submit that on request. </p>
