Brenda's life changed when her young daughter Anena was severely burnt. After years of costly care and disappointed plans, all seemed hopeless... until St. Mary's Hospital Lacor gave her a new lease on life: reconstructive surgery made possible by a visiting team of American surgeons, the commitment of Ugandan doctors and the generosity of the Tesdale-Corti Foundation donors.

Today, Anena runs and plays like all other kids.

Stories like Anena's exist only because of a chain of solidarity.

A gift or legacy gift through your will to the Teasdale-Corti Foundation means exactly this: seeing that St. Mary's Hospital Lacor continues to accept, care for and give hope to those who have no other recourses for care.

This is the legacy that Lucille Teasdale and Piero Corti gave us: to believe that medecine can give the poor dignity and a future. A legacy gift is not only remembrance: it is an act of love directed to the future, an act that saves lives — like Anena's.

Testimonies

"At my age, I understood a great truth: to be well, everyone must go well. This is why I have decided to include in my will causes close to my heart. I chose to share my wealth with the same love as that I built it, not only with my close relatives but also with the Foundation."
— Gianrinaldo, donor

"If I had not met the founders of Lacor Hospital, I would be a different person today. I learned from them to place the patients at the centre, to use all resources carefully and to pass on these values to those who will follow me. We have received an inheritance from them and it is our turn to pass on the torch. Our duty is to ensure that the next generation maintains that same spirit."
— Dr Emintone Odong, Medical Director, St. Mary's Hospital Lacor
