Ann B., 19

Ann is the second-born in a family of six children. She and her siblings live with their mother after being abandoned by their father. The family endures extreme financial hardship, as their mother depends on small-scale farming, which brings in very little income. As a result, they often survive on only one meal a day, leading to poor living conditions and malnutrition. Because of these financial challenges, Ann had to drop out of school when her mother could no longer afford school fees and other basic needs. She was later brought to our facility in a dire state, accompanied by her mother. After an initial assessment, Ann was enrolled under Helpster’s care, and her treatment was initiated. She was subsequently admitted for ongoing management and support. Ann had been referred from a sub-county hospital with complaints of fainting, and a history of heavy menstrual bleeding lasting over six months, accompanied by dizziness and heart palpitations. Upon examination and laboratory investigations, she was diagnosed with severe anemia secondary to prolonged abnormal uterine bleeding, with a differential diagnosis of endometriosis. She was admitted for treatment and continued care.
