Wesley is a 30-year-old man from Kenya. While Wesley is not formally employed, he engages in occasional online work to sustain himself and to support his dependent parents. On April 7th, Wesley was involved in a motorbike accident while driving in rainy conditions. The accident resulted in an open fracture of the left tibia/fibula. Upon admission to the hospital, he underwent suturing of the wound and was placed in a plaster back slab to stabilize the fracture. However, he will still require surgery. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On April 18th, Wesley will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. This procedure will alleviate the risks of permanent disability, potential infection, and malunion of the fractured leg. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,049 to fund Wesley's treatment and care. “Kindly help me. I have a lot of pain and am also worried about my leg. I hope to get support so that my leg can be treated, and I can be able to go on with my life and get married,” said Wesley.

Hoy is a 64-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He shares his home in Kampong Thom province with his wife, daughter, son-in-law, and their 7-year-old grandson. As a united family, they oversee and cultivate rice, the proceeds of which are sold at the local market to acquire essential provisions. Hoy shares a special bond with his grandson as they find joy in evening walks together. In November 2023, he suffered an unfortunate motorbike accident, falling onto the concrete on his left side, fracturing his forearm. He could not afford care at the local clinic and visited a Khmer Traditional Healer for a bamboo splint. After one month, he was still in great pain, and after an X-ray, discovered that he still had a non-union fracture in his arm. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On February 2nd, Hoy will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $483. This procedure will align his fractured bone into place for optimal healing so that he can work again. Hoy said: "I hope that after my operation, I will have no more pain and my arm will heal."

Ivan is a two-year-old boy from Haiti, living with his parents and four siblings in an urban neighborhood. Ivan likes listening to music and watching the older kids play soccer. Ivan has a cardiac condition called Tetralogy of Fallot. This condition involves several concerns in the heart, including a hole between the two lower chambers and a muscular blockage of one of the valves. These conditions prevent blood from passing through the lungs to obtain oxygen, leaving Ivan weak and short of breath. Ivan will need to fly to the Dominican Republic for treatment. On April 17th, he will undergo cardiac surgery, during which surgeons at Hospital CEDIMAT will patch the hole in his heart and remove the blockage from his valve, allowing blood to flow normally. Another organization is contributing money to pay for the surgery. Our medical partner, International Cardiac Alliance, is seeking your help to fund the $1,500 needed to cover the costs of Ivan's pre and post-operative care and the travel expenses and documents for Ivan's family and the social workers who will join the family during the trip. Ivan's mother said: "Our family is praying that our son will grow and become a strong and healthy child after surgery!"
