Esther Conteh, age about 30, is the mother of an 11-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. In Sierra Leone, she and her husband do farm work on other people’s land, as they try to survive and send their children to school.
Esther’s tumor probably started three-or-four years ago. It will soon threaten her life, if not removed. Before it is too late, Africa Surgery must raise the $6,000 necessary to send Esther to the neighboring country of Ghana to have her surgically treated.
