Review for Fistula Foundation, San Jose, CA, USA
If you've had a child (even here in the United States, UK or other wealthy countries), there's a chance that you too have actually had an obstetric fistula - and would still have one without the intervention of surgical repair. When I had my son in 2011, I tore extensively. But I was in San Francisco at a highly resourced hospital with antibiotics and skilled surgeons. Soon after that, I watched A Walk to Beautiful and realized: that would have been me, physically, were I living in an area without access to medical help for complicated births. Since I do live in such a place, I feel obligated to help support my sisters who do not.
