Bridgette's Story
For years, Bridgette has lived with a complex vascular tumor that began as a small red spot on her face.
It grew slowly. Then faster. Doctor after doctor examined her and gave the same answer: the surgery is too risky. The tumor could bleed too much. We cannot operate.
With each visit, hope felt farther away.
But Bridgette kept moving forward. She goes to school. She works hard. She has carried a burden no child should have to bear — and she has carried it with quiet courage.
Her mother, Rose, has carried it alongside her. With Bridgette's father facing severe medical challenges of his own, Rose is the family's sole source of income. Despite limited resources and overwhelming responsibility, she has never stopped seeking help for her daughter — or believing healing is possible.
After years of "no," Bridgette finally has a path forward.
Amigos doctors are now treating Bridgette with medication that is shrinking her tumor —bringing it down to a size that surgeons can safely operate on. This is the breakthrough her family has been praying for.
When the tumor reaches an operable size, she will be referred to Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, where vascular specialists will perform the complex surgery she needs.
This is not a setback. It is a step forward. It is the space needed to make sure her surgery is done with the best possible chance for healing.
For Bridgette, this is the threshold of a new life.
