Meeting with and hearing the stories of women who have had surgery for a prolapsed uterus is always incredibly moving, inspiring and motivating to continue fundraising so we can provide the funds needed to change other women’s lives.
The women both spoke of the physical pain, social isolation, psychological struggle and despair they felt. One of the women told Helmy and Shelley, “I have had a significant change in my life. I used to be in bed and could not go to church or the market. I could not work around my house and I did not want to be with my husband. Now I feel young and I am no longer carrying a very heavy load. I can go where I want to go and I have interest in my life again.”
