Aunt Diop

We just completed our Bob Marley's birthday fundraising and like clockwork Ngone spoke with her family yesterday and her Aunt is seriously ill and needs surgery. Apparently she needs a hysterectomy, although I am no doctor. It sounds really severe with serious bleeding. She has had more than 9 kids. Her family is the poorest amongst the surrounding villages. I intended this fundraising to reach outside of Ngone's family, but this need has arisen making such rules meaningless. If you ever wanted to save a life in Africa this is your chance. 

This is Ngone's mother's youngest brother's wife. To give you an idea of their way of life, they live hand to mouth with always barely enough food for the 9 kids. The 9 kids by the way are not the mother's choice in this culture, although these women wholeheartedly respect God's will, like many religious people around the world. Also their house has no roof.

Apparently surgery is outside of their family's realm of possibilities so they are basically resigned to praying for her. No one has asked us for anything except Ngone's brother Lassi said it would be nice if we could send a small amount to help feed their kids. Please pray. Ngone thinks other villagers will chip in. We'll see what happens.
