“Sole Sisters” Work to Aid the Feet of Ugandans Thanks to Affiliation with Sedera

Marian Leon-Lambert and Brandi Darnell traveled together to Uganda in 2019 where they cared for individuals who had jiggers, a debilitating sand flea infestation, in the soles of their feet. The two women helped remove the jiggers, gave the individuals shoes, and nursed them back to health.

Upon returning home, they felt desperate to continue serving those individuals in Africa. That same year they met the founder and team behind Sedera, a medical cost sharing company that offers an alternative to traditional medical insurance for both businesses and individuals. LeonLambert and Darnell now work as affiliates for Sedera.

“Sedera has given us a financial pathway to support our dear friends in Africa, as well as our lives as single moms. We have a heart for what Sedera stands for and are honored to be part of their team,” Leon-Lambert and Darnell stated.
