Meng Hor is a cheerful one-year-old boy from Cambodia. He is the only child in his family and lives in Kampong Thom Province with his parents. His father works as a chef at a restaurant near their home, and his mother runs a small grocery business. He enjoys eating vegetables with pork and loves playing with toy cars. Five months ago, Meng Hor accidentally touched a hot stove and suffered a burn injury to the second, third, and fourth fingers of his left hand. After the burn wound healed, scar contractures developed and caused his fingers to tighten and bend. This makes it difficult for him to grasp or hold objects and causes pain when someone tries to straighten his fingers. When Meng Hor's family learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), they traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On May 20th, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to improve finger movement, reduce pain, and help him use his hand more comfortably as he grows. Now, he needs help to fund this $652 procedure. Meng Hor's mother said, “I am very grateful for this treatment. I hope my son will recover well and be able to use his hand normally, so he can grow up healthy, play happily, and enjoy school without difficulty in the future.”

Derly is a 10-year-old girl who lives with her mother in a village in Antioquia, Colombia. She lives with congenital glaucoma, a condition that has required ongoing medical care since she was very young. In addition, about one year ago, she was evaluated by a pediatric dentist, who found multiple deep dental cavities. Since then, Derly has remained under observation. However, the progression of the disease has been unfavorable, leading to significant complications in her oral health. Currently, Derly experiences intense and persistent pain, inflammation, as well as difficulty eating and falling asleep, which impacts her quality of life. The medical team has advised for her to undergo dental treatment under general anesthesia to ensure a comprehensive, safe, and effective procedure. Derly will be receiving support from our medical partner, Clinica Noel. She is scheduled to undergo treatment on May 20th, and Clinica Noel is requesting $1,109 to cover the cost of this procedure. Derly’s mother expressed: "I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support; it is a great blessing. Thanks to this noble gesture, Derly will be able to receive the treatment she so desperately needs and, with it, regain her smile and the quality of life that every child deserves. May God reward you."

Eyu is a calm and sociable eight-year-old boy from Ethiopia. He is very talented in football and dreams of one day becoming a priest. He lives with his parents and his older brother in a rental house. His mother works as a teacher, while his father is currently unemployed. About six years ago, Eyu was unwell and when he was taken to hospital, he was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended. His parents were advised that he needed surgery, but he needed to be a bit older. Recently, his parents once again took him to hospital and were placed on a waiting list for surgery. Shortly after, they received a referral call to our medical partner's care center, BethanyKids Myungsung Christian Medical Centre (BKMCM). Eyu is receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH). He is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on May 19th, and AMH is requesting $754 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. If the condition is left untreated, Eyu has an increased risk of developing hernias, testicular cancer, and fertility problems in the future. Eyu's father says, "I thank God for the support we are getting for our son's surgery. I am also so happy to feel welcome at BKMCM. Please continue providing such high-quality care, you are truly the face of Christ in your service. Thank you, and God bless you all.”
