Sixteen year old Precious Tarungarira lives in rural Bikita in Zimbabwe, she is from a very poor family background of six. The family is dependent on subsistence, small scale farming, surviving on a shoe string budget of less than $2 (USD) a day.

Precious developed a rare condition that started with itching of the right eye around November, 2012. It then began to look like an abscess on the eye but has now turned into a huge swelling affecting Precious' right side of her face from the eye to the chin.

She is now struggles with eating and talking and she cannot do strenuous exercise.

Preliminary medical examinations carried out on Precious indicates that she needs to be operated on. The medical treatment expenses are estimated to be in the region of $30 000 (USD) a figure way beyond the reach of the family. GCN worldwide is appealing for donations from well-wishers to help finance the medical expenses for Precious.



All donations enquiries should be directed to Precious' Uncle MR Absolom Tarungarira.
