For five long years, Victoria lived with a tumor growing on her face. It wasn’t just the physical pain—strangers on the street would avoid even making eye contact with her.
Without access to the medical care she desperately needed, the tumor continued to grow unchecked.
Change felt out of reach. But Victoria refused to give up. She endured a grueling three-day journey to reach the Africa Mercy, a hospital ship operated by Mercy Ships, clinging to hope that surgery could finally change her life.
That hope became reality—and now her story is one of transformation and courage.
