Female Genital Mutilation Reconstructive surgery
Donation protected
Hello,
Thank you for visiting my GoFundMe. This is a hard topic for me to open up about, it's something I've always been ashamed and self-conscious about. I come from a culture where female genital mutilation is the norm, it is expected of every family to cut their daughters. At the age of 5, I (along with my three sisters) was cut by my aunt. It was her first time cutting, and she did not know what she was doing. Using a dull blade boiled in water, she cut everything. All I remember from this age was the excruciating pain that endured, weeks and weeks where urinating would result in full hysteria because of pain, and being tied up for weeks. Throughout my life I frequently had chronic genital infections, severe debilitating pain amongst several other complications. I now have uterine prolapse and require pelvic floor reconstruction surgery. Please help me raise money to get reconstructive.
Thank you and much appreciation,
Zaharah I.
