The following is an update about Emmie, one of those being cared for using the funds raised by The Three Mums.
Emmie is a young Nurse who discovered that she had cancer in her brain last year (2007). Emmie has been in and out of hospital ending up with a huge hospital bill and a large debt. Unfortunately after initial surgery and cycles of chemotherapy Emmie’s cancer persisted in her lymph nodes and she need further surgery to remove all the lymph glands in her neck.
This was such a complicated procedure Emmie had to pay for a neck specialist to travel from Rwanda to perform the operation. The surgery was going to cost so much money Emmie could not afford it and so she approached Hope Ward for assistance. With help from Suubi Trust funds 90% of Emmie’s hospital bill was covered; IHK also gave Emmie a great deal of support by discounting her bill by 30%. Emmie did not know that her hospital bill would be reduced by so much, when she discovered that she had been assisted in this way she was so happy her face lit up and she went home greatly encouraged thanks to all who are going the extra mile to help young people like Emmie in Uganda.
