Foni receives a life-changing surgery

Patient1
Dear Zana, Gloria, Patricia, Deborah, Tracy, Daniel, Adam, Kara, Kyler, Patrick, Chris, Jennifer, Nancy, Connie, Grady, Ashley, Leon, Kristen, Amy, Cory, Lisa, Mary Kate, Dylan, and Chris,

When Foni–a 25-year-old Haitian woman–entered one of Timmy’s clinics in the Dominican Republic complaining of abdominal pain following a recent pregnancy, she had no idea that she actually had a 16-pound tumor on her stomach.

Thanks to your support, Foni made it safely through Timmy’s patient referral process. When a patient like Foni has a complex or serious condition, our volunteer medical professionals refer that patient to one of our local hospital partners. And Timmy helps to cover the expenses-including the referral consult, transportation, lodging (when necessary) and medical treatment.

Today, Foni is experiencing a full recovery following her surgery to remove the tumor, which, thankfully, was benign. That surgery was made possible through your contribution. Thank you for fueling our work!
